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 Many films in this collection contain outdated information or offensive language/images.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: The Netherlands | Year: 1917 | Production Company: Kinematograaf Pathé Frères | FLM46391 | Film from the collection of Eye (Amsterdam) - https://filmdatabase.eyefilm.nl/en/collection/film-history/film/negende-katholiekendag-te-nijmegen-23-september-1917

This reportage opens with urban images of Nijmegen, including shots of the park Het Valkhof, the St. Stevens Church, and the Waag. These images are followed by the celebration of the ninth ‘Catholic Day’ on September 23, 1917, with shots of people departing from the Roman Catholic church, the procession of various associations to the Monseigneur Hamer monument, and the speech given by Mr. N.H.M. Franken to a large crowd. Wreaths and flowers are placed by the monument. A number of Catholic dignitaries then leave by car or coach.

As a bonus, the reportage ends with a shot of the Familie Bioskoop, which, we learn, has commissioned the film. The doors are opened, and a text advertisement announces which films will be running that week.
