YES! is a celebration of the human spirit, the power of relationships, and the unexpected ways life can turn around.This FREE screening is presented in partnership with the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design as part of the Mary L. Nohl Suitcase Export Fund's biennial exhibition, bringing together recipients of the Fund from 2024-2025 and celebrating the artists who continue to shape Milwaukee's vibrant creative community. About the Fund: Administered by the Lynden Sculpture Garden in collaboration with the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, the Mary L. Nohl Suitcase Export Fund helps visual artists offset the costs of exhibiting their work beyond the four-county region of Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington counties. By supporting opportunities to exhibit outside the region, the fund expands the visibility of Milwaukee artists, strengthens their professional careers, and shares the city's creative talent with audiences across the country and beyond. Now in its 23rd cycle, the Suitcase Export Fund demonstrates how modest investments can generate meaningful impact—amplifying artistic voices, advancing careers, and positioning Milwaukee as a vital center for contemporary art. The Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design is proud to present this exhibition, creating a space for dialogue among awardees while fostering connections across disciplines, practices, and perspectives.

Filmed at night from Tel Aviv rooftops, this investigative documentary examines the civilian casualties of Israel’s military operations in Gaza and the systems behind targeted killings of Palestinians. The title refers to an acronym used within the Israeli Defense Forces that means “civilian casualties.” There have been calls within the Israeli government to revoke the citizenship of the filmmakers and the 24 whistleblowers whose stories provide the framework for the investigation, even as NAZA has screened throughout the world at major film festivals.Directors' Note:We made this film out of a sense of obligation to use our position as Israeli filmmakers and journalists to examine the systems behind the mass killing of Palestinian civilians for which our country is responsible. While filming members of Israel’s military on rooftops at night in Tel Aviv over the past three years, we found ourselves asking the very questions that were asked by our grandparents’ generation and throughout the 20th century: how does one group of people allow the total dehumanization of another? What do the inner workings of such a system look like? Many of the revelations in the film were published almost immediately as we learned of them, in the months following the October 7th attacks, by The Guardian (one of NAZA’s producers), in collaboration with reporting partners +972 Magazine and Local Call. The film lets us explore something deeper than we could in our investigative journalism alone: not only the words being said but also those that are not said, the silence. It is up to all of us to break that silence. — Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, directorsFilm Sponsor: Chris Abele
