Old films experience new times at DVHN. And you can watch them from the couch. DVHN, in collaboration with the Drents Archief, broadcasts a Drenthe archive film every Sunday.
Filmmakers have been making images of Drenthe for a hundred years. Amateurs and professionals. In black and white and later in color. This year the Drents Archief looks back on a century of films in the province. We start in the 20s and end in the 90s.
With today: Farm life in the 1950s. The film was probably made for Regional Improvement, a project of the Ministry of Agriculture. Regions where agricultural production lagged behind were eligible for land reparcelling and agricultural extension, for example. With the aim of increasing production and modernizing agriculture.
