They Do Not Exist (1974)

25 min - Documentary, Palestinian struggle against the Zionist entity (Israel) - 1 June 1974
Your rating:

Shooting under extraordinary conditions, the director, who worked with Godard on his "Ici et Ailleurs" ("Here and Elsewhere") - this film was shot on the same 16mm camera - and founded the PLO's film division, covers conditions in Lebanon's refugee camps, the effects of Israeli bombardments, and the lives of guerrillas in training camps. "They Do Not Exist" is a stylistically unique work which explodes at the intersection between the political and the aesthetic.

Based on a true Military operation by Israeli commandos. An Air France flight is hijacked by the PFLP. The plane has about 100 Jewish passengers. The plane is grounded in Uganda.

Your rating:

While her husband is serving his sentence in an Israeli prison where any physical contact is strictly forbidden, a woman hatches a plan to smuggle in sperm to conceive a child. A beautiful and creative idea from those in charge of filming the Palestinian struggle in a short film, a lesson in a dramatic form, in which sound was used to express intimate feelings in a beautiful romantic way, as well as the use of music to show a beautiful cinematic image. .
