- 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.

Something is happening today, the friends awaken as Ahmad passes away, a life-time of silence has passed, a life-time of frustration and loneliness must end, dreams are searching for a few minutes, for last moments, there is still a little time left. There is a new space today, a space to remember, to convey & to confess, a space for a new attempt to escape.

- 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.
