Protesters Target Home of 'NAZA' Film Co-Director's Parents

Dozens of right-wing activists protested Wednesday evening at the home of Rachel Shor's parents, co-director of the documentary film "NAZA." The protest is part of a campaign against the film's creators, which has drawn sharp criticism following its screening at the Venice Film Festival.

Police present at the scene prevented a confrontation between Shor's neighbors and the demonstrators from escalating into physical violence, according to Kan-11. Haaretz reported that right-wing activists have recently been calling for protests at locations associated with the film's directors and their relatives.

"NAZA" received a special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival. Following the award, the Ministry of Culture announced it is developing a mechanism to revoke state funding for institutions that screen the film. Amid threats against the filmmakers, 43 Israeli human rights organizations and over 1,500 figures from the film industry have publicly supported Shor and co-director Avraham, calling for an end to what they describe as a campaign of incitement against the film's creators.
