Milan, 24 August (LaPresse) – A new film has been added to round off the Competition section of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival (2–12 September 2026). It is ‘Naza’, the new film by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, two of the four co-directors of the 2025 Oscar-winning documentary ‘No Other Land’. It is produced by The Guardian and James Wilson (JW Films), with Jonathan Glazer as executive producer. Wilson and Glazer are the Oscar-winning team behind *The Zone of Interest*. *Naza* – as announced by the Biennale – will be screened in the Sala Grande (Palazzo del Cinema) on 10 September at 5.15 pm, in the presence of the directors, producers, journalists from The Guardian and the official delegation. Synopsis: “Filmed at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv, the film reveals in detail the systems underpinning Israel’s calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza”. Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor join nine other directors (from 21 films) making their debut in the Venice Film Festival’s Competition, alongside Casey Affleck, Alì Asgari, Danny Boyle, May el-Toukhy, Cédric Kahn, Ilya Khrzhanovsky, Lance Oppenheim, Nicolas Pariser and Paolo Strippoli.
