They Do Not Exist
  • Release year: 1974
  • Runtime: 25 minutes
  • Country: Lebanon
  • Keywords: archive footage, bombing, letter, refugee camp, palestine
Plot:
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.
