Colonial Dutch-Indies (1938-39 in colour) [Part 1 of 4]

Back

Original Title: Coveted East Indies Director: Deane Dickason Production date: ca. 1938-39 A public-domain footage I found on www.archive.org - thought better share it here! These are scenes from the latter years of Dutch colonialism in Indonesia - and it appears much of the footage has been shot around 1938-39. Some interesting scenes of Menteng. The footage is full of street scenes, colonial lifestyles and 'orientalist' landscapes. ============== http://www.archive.org/details/coveted_east_indies_1 This film appears MOS, but originally had sound and was produced and narrated by the radio world travel radio commentator Deane Dickason. Interesting silent portrait of cultural life in the East Indies during Dutch colonialism. PA8530 Coveted East Indies, The 16mm Koda travelogue, 2 reels, ca. 1938-39 This item is part of the collection: Prelinger Archives Producer: Deane Dickason Audio/Visual: Si, color
