Gaza Documentary ‘Naza’ Receives 25-Minute Standing Ovation at Venice Film Festival
VENICE:The documentary *Naza*, which focuses on civilian deaths in Gaza, received a 25-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival.
The film was directed by Israeli journalists Yuval Abraham and Rachel Zor. The filmmakers expressed hope that their documentary, based on testimonies from Israeli intelligence officers and soldiers regarding the deaths of civilians in Gaza, would make it difficult for audiences to remain silent on the issue.
They said they hoped the film would encourage viewers to confront the accounts presented in the documentary and reflect on the consequences of the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
*Naza* is competing for the Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival alongside 21 other films.
