Chapters (any help appreciated): 0:00 Start 0:06 Neighbourhood around Athens 0:59 Grecian Shepherds 1:24 Washerwomen 2:00 Close-up of a local woman 2:50 Corinth, showing the vines 3:19 Mega Spileo Railway Station, Diakopto-Kalavryta railway 3:47 Diakopto-Kalavryta railway 5:24 People walking 5:45 Athens and Mt. Lycabotte, seen from Acropolis 6:55 Erechtion/Temple of Athena Polias 7:15 Acropolis. From a similar angle it was photographed by Girault de Prangey in 1842. 8:14 Parthenon 8:31 Two local women in holiday costume 9:43 Evzones
Of special interest in the Evzone part is the black band covering the upper part of the half-sleeve of the "fermeli" (the embroidered waistcoat of the ceremonial evzone uniform). You can see it clearly both on the drill squad (especially in 10:08, when the NCO and several men in the first line turn around) and on the two evzones dining. Since this mourning armband would be worn only after the death of a head of state, the film is probably shot not in 1912 but in 1913, within the period after the assassination of King George I (18 March 1913)
I read the description of the The funeral of King George I of Greece in 1913 film from the Gaumont website and it really makes me want to see it. Not only does it show German infantry and Berlin in Color, But also King George V and Tsar Nicolas II. I would love to these Monarchs in color. Idk if you can do that but it would be very insightful.
I got sourced films from various publications (CDs, etc.) The 1913 film of King George V with Kaiser Wilhelm II was uploaded on RUclips. I don´t know how complete this film is. ruclips.net/video/Qs75ZIr0Fvk/видео.html At 1:49 you see both of them passing by the camera, but the digital quality isn't good. I think there'd be more success in asking the Eastman Museum, since you need to list your company just to register on the Gaumont site. A bit unrelated, but there were also Kinemacolor films of monarchs, such as Edward VII or George V and Wilhlem II, but all of these have been lost.
@@arago8649 Thank you, I just thought that for this one you got it from the Gaumont Website instead of from the Cineteca Bologna DVD B/C I didn't remember it being on there. Keep up the great work! I glad to see these pieces of history come to life for all to see!
We Greeks of today, think that we were born with jeens and Vans, in the West world, with clasical music and modern art, the Beatles and Stones. But no, we mimicked all of it, from the movies and internet, a medieval society that tries for 100 years to prove we Belong to the West, even while mimicking Communism. I wish we hadn't thrown away our yesterday's Ethics and Traditions so easily and readily, just because they seemed outdated, many of which were carried from Antiquity. Today we are a people with no past, only present, the one we Mimick from TikTok
