This film is currently not available.   
Marseille Vieux Port (Impressionen vom alten Marseille Hafen) is a silent experimental city film by László Moholy-Nagy that captures the rhythms and atmosphere of Marseille's historic Old Port. Through dynamic camerawork and modernist montage, the film observes the bustling Canebière avenue, the harbor's maritime activity, pedestrians, trams, automobiles, and a funeral procession descending toward the waterfront. Rather than documenting the city objectively, Moholy-Nagy creates a visual study of movement, light, industry, and urban modernity that reflects the principles of the Bauhaus and the European city symphony movement.
