 Director: Th.M.G. van Eechoud | Production Country: The Netherlands | Year: 1948 | Production Company: Imago Film (Den Haag) | FLM77261 | Film from the collection of Eye (Amsterdam) - https://www.eyefilm.nl/ 

Made on behalf of The Hague Jubilee Committee, this film is about the 700th anniversary of The Hague. The sound is missing.
 
The film tells the story of The Hague: from its founding under Count Willem of Holland to the present day (1948). The film first looks at the Prinsenhof, the other historical buildings, and the many nobles and statesmen who have lived in The Hague or were otherwise connected to it. 
But halfway through the film, the focus changes. From here the film depicts modern life in the city: both the dynamics of the big city as well as the tranquil beauty of its parks, dunes, and museums.
