I just checked the FIAF database and it exists in two archives in France: Archives du Film du CNC and Lobster Films. So they exist in some form, but not likely in a DVD or other purchasable form.

The majority of films from that era are lost. Did they just read a reference to it in a book or something that would actually show it exists ( screening at a festival, review ?) My guess would be that IF it exists it is probably in an archive. There is a database for all archive holdings kept by the worldwide archive association ( FIAF) I can point to someone who could look it up but first you should find out what makes the prof think the film exists? Basically only the remotest chance the film exists and is available to be seen but no harm in trying.
