Enkhuizen

Documentary about Enkhuizen.

The film opens with a panoramic shot filmed from a church tower. From the tower, we can see the old town of Enkhuizen and, in the background, the former Zuiderzee. The documentary continues with images of the town’s important buildings and picturesque streets. The intertitles refer to the former glory days when Enkhuizen was still an important harbour. The silent witnesses from these former times are the harbour, and the ‘Dromedaris’ fortress tower.

Eindhoven

Documentary about the city of Eindhoven.

The film shows the most striking buildings, streets, squares, and rivers of the city of Eindhoven. The intertitles give their location. The film opens with the arrival of a train at the station. The following shots include e.g. the city hall, the St. Catherine Church, and the Stratumse Dijk. The filmmaker also aims his camera at the inhabitants of the city; we see for example women doing laundry in the Dommel. Atop the water tower, he gives a panoramic view of the surroundings.
