Saku manor and brewery on film, 1935

Saku mõis ja õlletehas filmilindil, 1935

In 1935 the Eesti Kultuurfilm newsreel spent a whole seven-minute issue at Saku. The camera first takes in the manor house and its park, then the brewery buildings around them: production halls, the workers' housing and the brewery's own power station. The rest of the film follows beer being made, step by step, from sacks of barley arriving at the gate to the finished bottles being loaded onto a railway wagon. The silent film is free to watch on the National Archives' Meediateek. The manor house still stands next to the brewery.

Eesti keeles

1935. aastal pühendas Eesti Kultuurfilmi ringvaade terve seitsmeminutilise numbri Sakule. Kaamera vaatleb kõigepealt mõisa peahoonet ja parki, siis nende ümber asuvaid õlletehase hooneid: tootmishooneid, tööliste elamut ja tehase oma elektrijaama. Ülejäänud film näitab samm-sammult õlle valmistamist alates odrakottide saabumisest kuni valmis pudelite laadimiseni raudteevagunisse. Tummfilmi saab tasuta vaadata Rahvusarhiivi Meediateegis. Mõisa peahoone seisab tänini õlletehase kõrval.
