About Some Meaningless Events is a 1974 docu-fiction film directed by Mostafa Derkaoui.[1][2][3][4][5] Moroccan authorities banned the film after its first and only screening in Paris.[6][7]
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[8] and the film was then streamed online and presented at a number of events and film festivals,[9][10][11] including the Marseille Festival of Documentary Film,[12] MoMa's Doc Fortnight 2021 festival[13][14] and the 69th Berlin International Film Festival.[15]
