WE ARE A SANCTUARY FOR EVERY CAPTURED MOMENT

After signing a trade treaty with Ethiopia in 1862, France established itself in Obock, a strategic area at the crossroads of Arab and African civilizations, near the Suez Canal and major oil routes. At the beginning of 1977, French armed forces, numbering 6,000 men, were stationed in the French Territory of the Afars and the Issas to ensure territorial integrity. This force included elements from the army, navy, air force, gendarmerie, and a specific unit called the autonomous nomadic group. The video documents the daily operations of these units, including border patrols, sensitive point protection exercises, logistical operations, and cooperation with the local population. Watch how the French forces maintained stability in this strategically significant area during the pivotal period of 1977. 💬 What are your thoughts on the historical significance and restoration quality of this video?

Today’s journey into the past takes us to a typical pre-Christmas evening in a home from the late 1970s. Remember those times?

Carnations became a symbol of that era, a quiet reminder of everyday life, but also of the effort to find beauty even in challenging times. One day, I’ll surely create a compilation of all the clips featuring carnations. 💬 And what about you? What are your memories of Advent traditions? Do you still follow them?

Step back into history and witness a pivotal moment in post-war Europe with our beautifully restored footage of the 1948 Prague Military Parade at Strahov Stadium. This grand event highlights the robust strength and renewed spirit of the Czechoslovak army, featuring a spectacular display of military precision and power. From the rumbling engines of T-34 tanks rolling through the stadium to daring aerial stunts that paint the sky, and the skilled maneuvers of paratroopers descending in formation, this parade is a vivid representation of a nation emerging from the shadows of conflict, ready to showcase its resilience and capability on the world stage. ➡️ In our effort to bring this silent film to life and enhance the historical atmosphere, all sounds you hear were meticulously added during post-production. Although there is a version of this reel that contains the original sounds, it has likely been overlooked and remains hidden away in the archives. Our goal in recreating the audio was to provide a more immersive and engaging experience, allowing viewers to feel as though they are standing amongst the crowds, witnessing the parade first-hand. This video not only serves as a portal to the past but also as a tribute to the technological and creative strides made in film restoration. By adding sound and correcting visual elements, we aim to honor and preserve the legacy of those who participated in the parade and those who witnessed it. 💬 How does the addition of sound impact your connection to the events of the 1948 parade?
