Special Jury Prize

It features interviews with 24 Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers talking about the crimes they committed in the war on Gaza.

The film has received rave reviews, and it won the Special Jury Prize at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival.

But some critics have a different take on the film.

Journalist and author Glenn Greenwald is one of them.

Yeah.

The film premiered at Venice last month, and it won the Special Jury Prize.

It's out for general release in Australia this week, and I think it's incredibly highly anticipated.

There's been an enormous amount of discussion about this film.

In a letter addressed to the Attorney General, Gali Baharev Meira, the IDF Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Yael Zimmer, and the Shin Bet head, David Zini, says that the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu demanded that, quote, act urgently to uncover the identities of all those who are involved or appear in this film.

NASA premiered last month at the Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Prize after receiving the longest ovation in the event's history.

It takes its name from an acronym used euphemistically by Israel's intelligence to indicate how many civilians it expects to be killed in an air strike.

Zimmer denounced the film as an, quote, attack on the State of Israel, accusing it that it's spreading lies and blood labels and libels.

So ultimately, the real issue here is that they revealed real information, but it was classified.

Naza, which won the Special Jury Prize at Venice Film Festival earlier this month, reveals in detail the systems behind Israel's calculated mass killings of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

Following the film's recognition at the festival, culture minister of Israel appealed to the interior ministry to consider revoking the citizenship of the film's creators and described the film as vile, and saying it constitutes treason.

So, so listen to this.

meat is.

NASA premiered at Venice on September 10th and won the special jury prize two days later.

25-minute standing ovation, longest in the festival's history, which tells you something about the room it landed in.

It's 80 minutes, directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Soar, and it's built entirely on nighttime rooftop interviews in Tel Aviv with 24 Israeli military and intelligence personnel, all of them anonymous.

Directed by Abraham and Shore, two of the four co-directors of the 2024 Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, Naza was shot at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv, revealing the systems behind Israel's bombing of Gaza.

Produced by The Guardian and executive produced by Jonathan Glaser, Naza won the special jury prize at the 2026 Venice Film Festival.

Thank you for the film and thank you for being here.

I know it's been a tough few weeks for you, but I think it's very meaningful that you're able to be at the screening.
