WATCH: Jerusalem Street Scene Reels, Nov. 1929


This is perhaps the earliest sound footage of Jerusalem, filmed from November 9-19, 1929. These scenes were taken with early Movietone sound cameras. This footage is very raw but it captures all sorts of city atmosphere. In the first section they seem to be documenting landmarks in Jerusalem for English and French audiences. As always the casual passerbys are the real stars of the show. Condensed/worked on footage and sound.
