[1941] Anne Frank: The Only Existing Motion Film

Description

Here is some nice public domain vintage historical footage for you all today.

July 22 1941. The girl next door is getting married. Anne Frank is leaning out of the window of her house in Amsterdam to get a good look at the bride and groom. It is the only time Anne Frank has ever been captured on film. At the time of her wedding, the bride lived on the second floor at Merwedeplein 39. The Frank family lived at number 37, also on the second floor.

Regardless of one's political views about the World War 2 Era, finding rare classic video footage on the Internet, is always pretty neat.

Though film recording back in those days was very expensive (much like when VCRs first came out and such), but was still affordable enough for an average middle class person to own one. However, audio capability was still reserved for the privilege of main stream motion picture studios. Physical film also has difficulty holding up for the better part of 80 years, unless stored taking very cautious measures. Even so, something like a flooded basement can instantly destroy old film, making it unrecoverable and completely lost. With the Internet, cam corders and camera built into damn near every phone, as well as web cams, live streams, internet radio and so on -- we tend to take for granted what is a very new development in personal freedom for human beings to communicate and share creatively.

Do people still buy into this? Part of her diary was written in ballpoint pen, something which wasn't available in Europe until after WW2. It was exposed as a fraud in Der Spiegal.
