Estonian Cultural Film Tour no. 79 Tallinn Before and Now, 1939, cinematographers: V. Parvel, K. Märska, N. Envald
This film about the development of Tallinn is based on a comparison of the contemporary and earlier cityscape. The cityscape of "before" comes from the film "Beauty of Tallinn" (1924), which captured objects in poor condition so that the achievements of the 1930s would be more visible. The comparison is also reinforced by the poor quality of the 1924 original film.
