- DirectorNabil MalehStarsAhmad AddasKhaled TajaThe struggle of an ordinary peasant against the feudal system and the authorities.
- DirectorAhmad FuadStarsSeif AbdelrahmanAhmad AddasAbdessalam Al-TayebThe lone sci-fi feature to come out of Syria, THE WORLD IN THE YEAR 2000 may sound like a futuristic fantasy, but is in fact a variant on THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN (1957). Furnished with an intelligently written script, the machinations of its 'mad scientist' actually make a reasonable amount of sense; he's attempting to downsize human beings before the Earth becomes overpopulated in coming decades. The special effects, sadly, leave more than a little to be desired, and 1976 was a late date for a black-and-white production even by local standards; however, apparently no technicians were available who had the know-how to attempt these effects in color at all. Nevertheless, the film remains a tantalizing curio from a nation whose movies have seldom been seen overseas.
- DirectorHulki SanerStarsNihat KalaiDuraid LahhamFarid ShawqiThis vehicle for Syrian comedian Duraid Lahham offers the most risqué mad scientist subplot to be found in any of these Lebanese films, thanks to his character visiting the inventor of the Sexatron, a machine whose precise practical purpose remains sketchy, although the method for causing it to blow up is outlined clearly enough in the screencaps below. This sequence evidently tested the censor's limits and contains three splices in the Lebanese version of the movie; it may well have escaped uncut in the Turkish edit of the film.

In this dialogue and non-fiction setting, Toti keeps the story of the saint "in costume" and traces them with some flash-backs and flash-forward orchestrating a parable of lunges in the contemporary. A metahistorical film and a cinematic destination on the life of Saul of Tarsus.

- DirectorAbdellatif AbdelhamidWhatever, this is a great little short from the back-catalogue of the 70s-80s Syrian art/experimental scene. It is a nine minute short about hands. Hands, and the things hands do. It's handsomely edited to some hand-conducted orchestral music. There's not much worth adding, partly because I really don't know much more about this excellent short, but also because I think it speaks for itself, made in the regionally barbaric year of 1982 by an activist/filmmaker in Syria, it is in part a very personal anti-war scream of horror and in part a very state-funded piece of socialist/Ba'athist agitprop about labour and community. But it's ultimately about hands.
