This film is from the Eye Filmmuseum collection. Many films in this collection contain outdated information or offensive language/images. While this is problematic, we do not wish to erase these films from (film) history. As a film museum, we show films as much as possible in their original form.   

 Director: unknown | Production Country: Netherlands | Year: 1931 | Production Company: unknown | FLM3043 | Film from the collection of EYE (Amsterdam) - https://www.eyefilm.nl/

Incomplete reportage that gives an impression of Amsterdam’s working-class neighbourhoods. Part of Jan Teunissen's film Pierement (1931). 
The images seem to come in more or less random order: an organ grinder, mattresses and blankets hanging from a window to air out, a sign saying “ice-cream today”, and a smudged child. 

The window of the greengrocer, eggs, a fence with the slogan “C.P. for Bread and Labour”. Stone pigeons in a cemetery and real pigeons in the sky. Also in the air: a small aeroplane (PH-ADO). Then more windows: egg-shaped blocks of coal, petroleum, meat at the butcher shop. A dog looks at the steak. A clothesline in front of an upstairs window.
