Israelin hirmutekoja kuvaava NAZA-dokumentti saa Suomen ensi-iltansa R&A-jatkoilla 3.10.

Oscar-palkittujen Rachel Szorin ja Yuval Abrahamin (No Other Land, R&A 2024) ohjaama, Venetsian elokuvajuhlilla 25 minuutin aplodit vastaanottanut dokumenttielokuva NAZA nähdään nyt Suomessa R&A-jatkoilla 3.10. klo 14.30.

Vuoden elokuvatapauksiin nousseessa dokumentissa haastatellaan 24 anonyyminä esiintyvää Israelin puolustusvoimien ja tiedustelupalvelun työntekijää, jotka kertovat laskelmoidusta siviilien murhaamisesta. Tel Avivin katoilla öisin kuvattu elokuva paljastaa yksityiskohtaisesti järjestelmät, jotka ovat Israelin Gazassa toteuttaman palestiinalaissiviilien suunnitelmallisen tuhoamisen taustalla.

Elokuvalippua ostaessa voi myös lisätä tukisumman Lääkärit Ilman Rajoja -järjestölle. Järjestö toimii muun muassa paikan päällä Gazassa, missä heillä on 1 480 työntekijää. Kannustamme lahjoittamaan järjestön elintärkeää työtä varten.

NAZA esitetään yhteistyössä B-Plan Distributionin kanssa.

NAZA, a documentary depicting Israel’s atrocities will have its Finnish premiere at Love & Anarchy Afters

The documentary film NAZA, directed by Oscar-winning Rachel Szor and Yuval Abraham (No Other Land, R&A 2024), which received the longest standing ovation in the history of the Venice Film Festival, will have its Finnish premiere at the R&A Afters in Bio Rex Lasipalatsi on Saturday, October 3 at 14.30.

The film has become one of the major stories of the year. In it 24 anonymous Israeli military intelligence officers and soldiers are interviewed; they describe the calculated murders of Palestinian civilians. Filmed at night on rooftops in Tel Aviv, the film reveals in detail the systems behind Israel’s systematic destruction of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

When purchasing a ticket, you can also add a donation to Doctors Without Borders. The organisation operates, among other places, on the ground in Gaza, where it has 1,480 staff members.

NAZA is screened in collaboration with B-Plan Distribution.

Invitation to attend the English-language premiere of the play “I, Elizabeth – A Monarch in Crisis” which will be held at Musiikkitalo on October 8, 2026 at 7pm in the Organo hall. The play, performed by the actress/musician Elina Mustonen, imagines the last hour before Queen Elizabeth I signs the death warrant for Mary, Queen of Scots. Elizabeth I was an accomplished musician, with the virginal as her main instrument, and the play combines Elizabeth’s own words or those of her contemporaries with music from the early modern period.
