Where Was NAZA Filmed? The Tel Aviv Rooftops Explained

A defining visual feature of NAZA is its nighttime rooftop interviews in Tel Aviv. The setting helps conceal sources while placing the conversations against a visible Israeli cityscape.

What official materials say

The Guardian repeatedly describes NAZA as shot at night on Tel Aviv rooftops. The film’s 24 anonymous military and intelligence interviewees are presented with identities obscured.

Why the location matters visually

Critics have read the rooftop setting as more than a security device. The distance, darkness and view into a functioning city create a contrast with the violence being discussed.
