The trailer for the Gaza war documentary NAZA has been released, alongside plans for a worldwide cinema rollout followed by free global streaming, as reported by Variety on Sept. 25, 2026.

The film was directed by Israeli film-makers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. The pair were two of the four co-directors of No Other Land, which won the documentary Oscar in 2025, according to the same Variety report.

NAZA had its world premiere in Venice on Sept. 10. It then won the Special Jury Prize at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, the festival’s organisers confirmed in its awards announcement on Sept. 12.

The 80-minute film was shot at night on rooftops in Tel Aviv. It examines the killings of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, with the directors gathering testimony from 24 insiders who helped remotely target homes in Gaza, The Guardian reported on Sept. 11.

The film builds on reporting first published by +972 Magazine, Local Call and The Guardian between 2023 and 2025. Its central allegation, as described by Al Jazeera on Sept. 24, is that Israel used artificial intelligence systems to carry out mass civilian killings in Gaza. The title itself is a military acronym, according to The Guardian on Sept. 24.

Distribution is handled by MK2 Films, which launched international sales on the title in Venice. The company has secured theatrical distribution — the business of placing a film in cinemas — in 56 territories, Variety reported.

Cinemas worldwide will begin screening the film from Sept. 28. In the United States, the rollout starts on Sept. 30 exclusively at the IFC Center in New York City. The film will next play at the New York Film Festival.

After the cinema run, NAZA will be made available globally for free via The Guardian’s website in late November. The production is listed by Venice as a United Kingdom production in Hebrew and English, produced by The Guardian and JW Films.
