D'Weesekanner op der Schueberfouer
Description
Audiovisual document of 4 September 1936. Amateur photographer and filmmaker Pierre Bertogne filmed the annual visit of orphans to the Luxembourg fairground (Schueberfouer). The children first go to the confectionery of Mr. Francis Bertogne (father of the filmmaker) in the Grand-Rue where they receive confectionery and then go to La Fouer to visit the various attractions. We see the benefactors of social works and various Luxembourgish personalities, including Siggy seen Lëtzebuerg (Lucien Koenig). The commentary puts the film in its historical context and cites numerous press excerpts including an article in which the author complains (already!) about noise and loudspeakers!
