About

Film from the former Dutch East-Indies where we can see forrest-mining nearby Kotari and Silinda. A forrest with latex-trees and preparations to expand the latex-trees. Also we can see a small village and big bulldozers, taken down a big tree. Then shots from a party and a marriage. A banner is shown with the text: Perhimpunan, kesenian dan amal, pentak pusaka otatinen, Medan, followed by a kind of fight-demonstration as part of the ceremony for the young couple. After that shots from probably the river nearby where locals are fishing and after the fishing the roast the fish and eat it. Furthermore image from a trip by car to Parapat and a shot on a sign on the road with the text: Awas! Batu Lobang, followed by very nice shots from the lake and the mountains around it. After the black and whit part, there is a small part with colorfilm from a kind of opening from something and a football-match.

This film was given to us by the Dutch family Kortekaas and was almost thrown away and lost forever.

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
