Mills

1926 · 9 min · Documentary

Raw footage of windmills, probably made by Theo Güsten and possibly by Dick Laan as well. This footage was probably shot for the films De Zaanstreek by Güsten and Hoe de Zaansche molens verdwijnen by Dick Laan. The two films do not contain any of the same images. We see shots of, for example, the windmill called “De Windhond” (“The Greyhound”) in Woerden, and several windmills in the Zaan region.

MovieDocumentary
Partly staged long documentary about the Zaan region of North Holland. As far back as the 17th century, the local council developed the area with an eye towards labour and people, and the mills were the machines that enabled productivity and prosperity. Since that time, the Zaan has developed into an important industrial centre. In this nearly two-hour film, we see most of the region’s cities and towns, as well as its key industries.
