This very rare collection of silent newsreels filmed in Egypt in 1920s , they show us an Egypt we only read about in books. They are very interesting showing faces and places that changed by time like instance this magnificent view of the Nile in front of the Pyramid during the flood , the view we do not see anymore because of the high Dam in Aswan , the view of Mahmal celebration , the view of the water carrier who does not exist anymore ..etc.
Most of these newsreels were filmed for tourism in Europe.
I hope you enjoy that collection.
La Belle Egytpe in 1920s. Yes this is what we read about in books. I enjoyed this collection so thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHey! Thank you for this, yes, newsreels like these are really precious. I am myself interested in them - could you give me any advice of how they can be found? Are they usually stored in some archives, universities, libraries etc.?
