“NAZA” is a codeword euphemistically used by Israeli intelligence to indicate the number of civilians it expects will be killed in an airstrike. These days, the murder of women and children is no accident. As interviews with some two dozen serving military operatives make clear, when Israeli missiles are sent into Gaza all potential casualties have been factored in. One Hamas agent is worth 15 NAZA, or more.
Produced by Jonathan Glazer and James Wilson (The Zone of Interest), this investigative documentary by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor (No Other Land) is both restrained and chilling, a sombre, modest but unforgettable and deeply upsetting film that demonstrates how modern technology is not only facilitating mass killings, it’s benumbed the conscience of the killers and maybe the rest of us too.
Content Considerations: The film includes a brief but graphic sequence depicting devastation from a collapsed building
One of the most important films of our time. Naza is a bombshell.

Possible Love
Lee Chang-dong’s first film since Burning (2018) is a sardonic, slow-burning satire about two couples: a documentary filmmaker married to a wealthy businessman, and a working-class family struggling to make ends meet after the husband has been laid off.
La Bola Negra
A big, old-school historical melodrama gets a thrillingly modern, queer makeover from Spanish duo Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, who artfully juggle three gay protagonists across stories set in 1932, 1937, and 2017. Winner: Best Director, Cannes. Screening on 35mm.
The History of Concrete
After attending a workshop on pitching saccharine Hallmark movies, John Wilson tries to apply all the same best practices to his documentary about concrete. Frequently absurd and endlessly entertaining detours, asides, and digressions ensue.
Once Upon a Time in Harlem
Once Upon a Time in Harlem splices together footage shot by William Greaves in 1972 of a group of Harlem Renaissance luminaries in conversation at Duke Ellington’s townhouse. The film is a living archive of memory, disagreement, style, and Black genius.
