The same Arabic desk’s speech item adds “systematic and intentional” and Ayman Odeh. Together they are the Arabic prize package on this site.
Abraham and Szor’s film is being read in Arabic as both a Venice winner and a Gaza evidence file. Al Jazeera has the arts copy.

Summary of the article
On Sep 12, 2026, Al Jazeera published: Al Jazeera’s arts desk reports the Special Jury Prize, the ~25-minute ovation, and the film’s account of surveillance and AI targeting in Gaza. That is the item we summarise on this page — not a reprint of their article.
Our perspective
The Venice record Al Jazeera is writing about does not vanish because a minister is angry. Abraham said Israelis should watch the film. We keep that line. From our own briefing note on this item: The same Arabic desk’s speech item adds “systematic and intentional” and Ayman Odeh. Together they are the Arabic prize package on this site. Cite Al Jazeera for the news. Cite this desk only for the position — we are with the filmmakers, dated Sep 12, 2026.
Unofficial. We support Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. We do not reprint the outlet and we do not invent a donation page.
