Stock Library Can AORAOSAOT (silent)

This silent 1950s film compilation presents a diverse array of scenes ranging from everyday activities to detailed scientific experiments. It begins with people engaging in recreational activities like playing baseball and enjoying outdoor scenery, including rivers, mountains, and fields. There are also depictions of sheep grazing, grasslands blowing in the wind, and agricultural activities such as herding cattle and milking cows. Urban scenes include views of factories, small city roads, and bustling streets in Auckland, New Zealand. Indigenous people are shown dancing in traditional clothing, and there are serene moments of people sailing and herding sheep. A significant portion of the film is dedicated to scientific experiments in a laboratory setting. Hands are seen pouring solutions, stirring liquids, and handling various lab equipment. There are detailed sequences of beakers filled with different colored liquids, white powder being measured, and smoke traveling through tubes. The experiments include filtering solutions through coffee filters, stirring white powder into liquids, and demonstrating the effects of gaseous substances in glass beakers. Industrial processes are also featured, with men operating machinery, processing materials like cement and paint, and handling fabrics. Shirtless men in aprons are shown working with large spinning machines, inspecting and processing grey slimy material. We digitized and uploaded this film from the A/V Geeks 16mm Archive.
