Venice

And out of all the races you've done, which one has been your absolute favorite?

Um, I think the Venice Marathon.

Ooh, tell me about that.

What's that like?

Uh, well, the race itself, um, they bus you out, out of Venice to the start, and then you run back.

But of course, the attractive thing is the last five kilometers or so, where you run actually over the canals of Venice.

And the year I did it, uh, we also ran around St. Mark's Square, uh, which was a wonderful experience just before the finish.

That's, it does sound very special indeed.

Notably, Ram recently included its first Jewish candidate on its slate.

In international cultural news, Israeli filmmaker Yuval Avraham's film, NAZA, which reportedly presents Israel's actions in Gaza, recently won the special jury prize at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival.

The film, which reportedly presents Israel's actions in Gaza, follows another of Avraham's works, No Other Land, which previously won an award after portraying Israeli actions in the West Bank.

While NAZA received a lengthy standing ovation, the report contrasts this with the difficulty Israeli productions like the popular series, Foda, would face in gaining similar international festival acclaim today.

The filmmakers won an Oscar last year For no Other Land a documentary About violence by Jewish settlers Against Palestinians IN the occupied West Bank They Were Killed By palestinians In the Occupied West bank.

And okay, other than that, not too much more news.

As discussed last week, we are in film festival territory with Telluride in Venice just happening.

There were some stories out, the awards at Venice were given out, but again, I just want the dust to settle.

Hopefully those movies can start to get some recognition and then get release dates, and that's when I kind of want to start bringing them into the conversation, because right now it's just really nothing that we're going to be able to see anyway.

But anyway, with that, let's head on over to the box office for this past weekend.

También fue el director fundador del Museo Nacional de Historia y Cultura Afroestadounidense del Instituto Smithsonian.

El documental NASA, que retrata el uso por parte de las Fuerzas Armadas israelíes de sistemas secretos impulsados por inteligencia artificial para atacar y masacrar de manera deliberada y sistemática a civiles en Gaza, ganó el sábado el premio especial del jurado en el Festival de Cine de Venecia.

La película, dirigida por el periodista israelí Yuval Abraham y la cineasta israelí Rachel Sorur, recibió una ovación de pie récord de veinticinco minutos cuando se estrenó la semana pasada.

Ambos directores habían ganado un premio Óscar por el documental No Other Land, en español Ninguna Otra Tierra, junto con los codirectores palestinos Basel Adra y Jehad Nawajra.

La película NASA fue rodada en secreto durante tres años en las azoteas de Tel Aviv e incluye testimonios de fuentes militares y de inteligencia israelíes que hablaron con la condición de que su identidad no fuera revelada.

El título del documental hace referencia a un acrónimo utilizado por las Fuerzas Armadas israelíes para referirse a las muertes de civiles en Gaza.

Este es un fragmento del discurso de agradecimiento que Yuval Abraham pronunció el sábado en Venecia.

«Quiero ser muy claro.

To bring us back up to the present, you were head of, um, the Cannes film jury last year.

And you may have heard that Maggie Gyllenhaal, who's chairing the Venice jury, has expressed frustration that only two female directors made it into competition.

Is that a concern for you?

It's not a long time ago that it's been really open for women to, uh, direct films, I would say.

Juliette Binoche.

In Ai in Motion is in selected cinemas from Friday, and we'll be reviewing Queen at Sea on Thursday's Front Row.

And I mentioned the Venice Film Festival just then.

Well, one of those female directors won the top prize in Venice on Saturday.

Hi, welcome to Fred.

Hi, thank you so much for this invitation and yeah, it's good to be back in Fred.

Well, the people who travel with me are those who, in many cases, but not all, have already traveled to Italy once or twice.

And they're saying, look, I've already been to Rome, Florence, Venice.

I may have even gone to Sorrento and Positano.

But I really want to know more about Italy.
