Documentary
From 1974 to 1977, Lucas Vereertbrugghen and his crew filmed anonymously under the name 'The Present as History' in Nazareth, Acre, and Galilee, where Palestinians lived in bleak conditions. They also filmed in the occupied territories of Jerusalem and Ramallah and, with the help of a friendly Palestinian couple, in several destroyed villages in the Golan Heights and Gaza. Everything was shot on Super 8, both for financial reasons and to preserve secrecy. The film was later converted to 16 mm and won a bronze medal at the Baghdad Festival in 1978.
