The Veluwe 1923 film complet
A film about the Veluwe made by A.M. van der Wel, the director of the Gemeentelijke Schoolbioscoop in Rotterdam. We see detailed images of villages, towns, moors, streams, ponds, poultry, and sheep farming. Van der Wel shot his own footage (according to the intertitles), but also used existing films. He drew mainly on the ‘city films’ from the catalogue of HAP & BenS. We see, for example, images from the films Oosterbeek aan den Rijn and De Steeg made by the Arnhem film company AFKO; and from the films made for Haghe Film From Arnhem en omstreken to Barneveld and Elburg, directed by Willy Mullens.
