Summary[edit]

Description
English: Part of India on Film: 1899 – 1947

This collection of newly digitised films is part of the BFI's contribution to the UK-India Year of Culture 2017, in partnership with the British Council.

Early film of a crowded street scene in an unidentified Indian city. Can you identify it?

A busy street in India is filmed from a static camera position. Unfortunately, given the lack of clearly recognisable features, it seems to be impossible to identify the city, but if you recognise it please let us know. This film was produced by the Walturdaw Company.
