Naza (15)

Plymouth Arts Cinema is screening Naza (15) on Friday 13 November at 8:30pm, with the film also showing on the 14th, 17th and 18th. The Friday night screening is introduced by Palestine Solidarity Campaign Plymouth, so it's a good one to catch if you're after a bit of context before the lights go down.

Naza was shot at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv, where secret conversations reveal the systems behind Israel's mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, told by the people who designed and operated them. Its directors, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, were two of the four co-directors of the 2024 Oscar winner No Other Land. They've said they made the film out of an obligation to use their position as Israelis to interrogate how one group allows the total dehumanisation of another, looking not only at the words being said but also the silence. It's 80 minutes long, in Hebrew and English with English subtitles.

The film premiered at the Venice International Film Festival, where it received a 25-minute standing ovation — a festival record — and won the Special Jury Prize. Much of what it reveals was published shortly after the October 7 attacks by The Guardian, one of the film's producers, alongside +972 Magazine and Local Call. It's been reviewed as one of 2026's most vital releases.
