The Johannesburg City Council presents “After Sixty Years,” a circa 1946 black-and-white film narrated by Frank Secker that tells the history of the South African city. Johannesburg was named and established in 1886 two years after the discovery of gold on what had been a farm in an area considered a bleak and barren wilderness (mark 01:14). The film re-enacts that historic discovery starting at mark 01:41, and we learn how the news spread quickly, leading to gold hunters flooding the area aided in its development. Mark 05:55 shows the viewer images of Johannesburg’s new town tall, constructed around the turn of the 20th century, as well as scenes from the city’s 40th anniversary (mark 07:00). There are scenes of the ongoing underground drilling for gold coupled with how, after many intricate processes, it is refined and turned into gold bars (mark 10:20). The film continues with scenes of the bustling city and an explanation by Secker how it continues to grow, with scenes from city hall and city parks, sporting facilities, zoos, and other sites. A look at the city’s transportation system follows at mark 15:20, as are looks at such civic enterprises as markets and nursery schools (mark 18:39) and a hostel for girls (mark 19:03). The film also visits places such as self-contained Orlando Township (mark 20:50) and shows life among native non-European residents. As the film nears its end the viewer is treated to a glimpse of nightlife in Johannesburg, starting at mark 27:18.
