SHOOTING
by Netalie Braun
SYNOPSIS
In SHOOTING, award-winning filmmaker Netalie Braun delivers a bold, visually arresting trilogy that exposes how cinema is weaponized in Israeli society. Through three gripping true stories - a military reenactment that displaces an entire village, a staged police raid endangering a Palestinian family, and a haunted military props supplier - Braun probes the dangerous intersection of storytelling, propaganda, and state power. Blending archival footage with immersive cinematography, SHOOTING lays bare the chilling collision of fiction and real lives.
