NAZA at filmforum Duisburg: When Killing Becomes a Calculation

On Sunday, November 8, 2026, filmforum Duisburg will show the investigative documentary NAZA in a subtitled version. The film leads into a shocking zone of modern warfare: Where civilian casualties no longer appear as individual fates, but as calculated numbers in military target systems.

A Documentation about the Mechanics of Killing

Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor focus their camera on the hidden structures behind Israel's military operations in the Gaza Strip. 24 Israeli intelligence officers and soldiers speak anonymously. Their voices and appearances have been digitally altered to allow insights into a system whose decisions largely remain hidden.

The title NAZA refers in Israeli military jargon to the expected collateral damage – that is, the number of uninvolved people who are likely to be killed in an attack. From this term, the film develops an unsettling dramatic question: What happens when the death of civilians in military operations becomes a calculable entity?

Nocturnal Images, Distorted Voices, Unsettling Closeness

The staging does not rely on spectacular war imagery, but on a concentrated, investigative form. Nighttime city views, interviews on the rooftops of Tel Aviv, and digitally altered voices create an atmosphere between interrogation room, memorial protocol, and political thriller. The film's set remains the real world; its actual dramaturgy arises from the contrast between technical precision and human responsibility.

Thus, NAZA transforms military terms into moral shock. The acoustics of the voices, the pauses between statements, and the cool visual language create a stage experience of documentary cinema: restrained, concentrated, and long-lasting.

Awarded in Venice

At the Venice Film Festival, the documentary was awarded the jury's special prize. The direction by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor combines journalistic research with a precise cinematic form. The film relies on statements from insiders while simultaneously openly discussing the political controversy surrounding its portrayal. The Israeli army rejects the central accusations of the film and describes the portrayal as factually incorrect.

An Evening for Political Cinema and Open Debate

The screening at Duisburg filmforum targets audiences who are ready for a challenging engagement with war, technology, responsibility, and the power of images. With a running time of 80 minutes and an age rating of 12 years, NAZA offers a concentrated, intense cinematic experience.

Conclusion: This film does not provide a comforting distance. It forces a gaze into the interface of bureaucracy, digital targeting, and human suffering. Those who experience political cinema as a place of insight and societal debate will find an evening of extraordinary intensity at filmforum Duisburg. Secure your ticket and experience NAZA live in the cinema hall.
