Скачать или смотреть Jerusalem, 1959-60 (silent color 16mm film)

Description:
We are in Jerusalem, a city in the Middle East situated on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea.

The film opens with footage from inside the bus in which the filmmaker is with a group of Greek Christians and the Mount of Olives. We see the Tomb of Absalom and the Church of All Nations, next to the Garden of Gethsemane. The tour continues on Mount Zion where we see the locals doing their daily chores, as the filmmaker shows us the buses of that era that have taken a stop and a little behind them stands out the Abbey of the Dormition, a Catholic abbey belonging to the Benedictine Order in Jerusalem.

Afterwards, we take a closer look at the Church of All Nations and the Walls of Jerusalem that surround the Old City. The view changes with several pilgrims and Christian priests outside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The lens shows us the area with a panoramic view and then we watch people who come and go. With one more panoramic shot, we see the whole old city. We single out the Temple of the Resurrection of the Lord, the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The filmmaker stands on the facade of a hotel and his sign that reads "Petra hotel" and then in a convoy of cars with the bell tower of Augusta Victoria Hospital’s church standing out in the background.

The film closes with a green landscape full of olive trees as well as people who continue their tour.
