Wiki.

About Some Meaningless Events is a 1974 docu-fiction film directed by Mostafa Derkaoui. Moroccan authorities banned the film after its first and only screening in Paris.

Widely believed to have been lost, negative prints were uncovered in the archives of the Filmoteca De Catalunya in Barcelona in 2016 by researcher Lea Morin. The prints were restored and the film was then streamed online and presented at a number of events and film festivals, including the Marseille Festival of Documentary Film, MoMa's Doc Fortnight 2021 festival and the 69th Berlin International Film Festival.
