Summary: NAZA, an Israel-Gaza war documentary, is getting a theatrical release in the U.S. The film, by Israeli directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, will launch exclusively at the IFC Center in New York City. NAZA will expand to Los Angeles and other key markets on Oct. 9, ahead of a national rollout in the weeks to follow. The documentary is to have a North American premiere at The New York Film Festival on Sept. 26.
Why it matters: The film is sparking a political storm in Israel after winning the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.
Context: The film is executive produced by Jonathan Glazer and features testimony from 24 Israeli military officers outlining the systems and protocols they allege Israel uses to target and kill Palestinian civilians in Gaza. The IDF in a statement said it ‘categorically rejects’ the film’s allegations and criticized the use of anonymous testimonies, which it said ‘cannot be verified.’ IDF chief of staff Eyal Zamir said the documentary constitutes ‘an attack on the State of Israel.’
"Due to the urgency of the movie’s subject matter, the filmmakers are moving ahead with an innovative distribution model, spearheaded by The Guardian and mk2, who have assembled a team of U.S. and international partners and consultants to bring the film to audiences as quickly as possible." — HOLLYWOODREPORTER
