Tramway
Tram
Year: circa 1908
Under the knowing eye of a flock of children, a tramway proceeds through the streets of Dunkirk at the beginning of the 20th century. Everyday life unfurls via a long tracking shot: shopkeepers, businessmen, housewives, hawkers, all kinds of onlookers take part in the hustle and bustle of urban life. Then as we move away from the centre, the town is concealed and another movement, that of the outskirts, has the upper hand.
From a nitrate copy, this documentary tinged with timeless beauty is a witness of the impact time has on the filmic image and its subject.
