    Mooi Nederland
    Utrecht
  • Année: 1918
  • Description: Documentary about the city of Utrecht This film is dedicated to Mayor Reiger, who had a great deal of influence on the development of Utrecht at the turn of the century. The opening shot is an aerial view of downtown, filmed from the hundred-metre-high Domtoren. Considerable attention is paid to the Domtoren, the Domkerk, the nearby university, and the most important canals. From a boat in the canal, the filmmaker depicts the shipyard basements and the low-lying quays. Many passers-by pose for the camera. Footage is also shot from a moving tram. The moving camera gives the film a more dynamic character than most of the other ‘city films’ from the early years of cinema.
