Alberts Frères

The company was founded by brothers Albert (1879–1941) and Willy Mullens (1880–1952); they were the main filmmakers and exhibitors in the Netherlands in the first two decades of the twentieth century. History Willy and Albert's father, Albertus Abraham Mullens (30 July 1847 Hoorn – 1890), alias "A. Alber(t)", and a German by the name of Ernst Ahrens Basch (1838-1908) had founded a theater company, Koninklijk Nederlandsch Cagliostro-Théâtre Alber & Basch, specializing in "mysterious and pseudo-scientific spectacles".

Under the direction of his father, he completed his first film at 13; in college he studied economics with the goal of continuing his father's business, but an interest in class issues distracted him from that path.

Rain (1929 Film)
''Rain'' ( nl, Regen ) is a 1929 Dutch short documentary film directed by Mannus Franken and Joris Ivens. It premiered on 14 December 1929, in the Amsterdam Filmliga's theater, De Uitkijk. Historical significance and context ''Regen'' has four key elements that have cemented its place in documentary history: its place in the long career of director Joris Ivens, the Dutch Film Canon, the City Symphony film movement, and the history of avant-garde documentaries. Joris Ivens lived from 1898 to 1989 and in that time created thirteen noteworthy documentaries, whose interrelation and evolution loosely model the trajectory of documentary film as a whole. Over his career, he made art films, commercial films, political documentaries, war (and indeed anti-war) documentaries. His final film, '' A Tale of the Wind'', was an autobiographical piece contemplating the divide between realism and fantasy. Additionally, Ivens was one of the inaugural voices of Dutch Film, establishing traditi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
