Controversial 'NAZA' documentary nominated for three European Film Awards
The European Film Academy officially announced the nominations over the weekend at the Pavlos Zannas Theater in Thessaloniki, as part of the city's International Film Festival.
The controversial documentary NAZA, directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Shor, has been nominated for three European Film Awards, including Best European Film, Best Documentary Film, and Best Sound. The film, produced by The Guardian and JW Films, received the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival and has garnered over 1.5 million viewers worldwide.
NAZA centers around anonymous testimonies from former IDF personnel, alleging that mass civilian deaths were often a deliberate strategy in Israeli military operations in Gaza. The film has sparked controversy and backlash, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling for the prosecution of those involved for severe information security offenses, criminal defamation, and damage to Israel's diplomatic and security interests.
The European Film Awards ceremony will take place on January 16, 2027, at the Stavros Niarchos Cultural Center in Athens.
