A vibrant video showing a bustling street scene in Jerusalem from 1897 has captivated numerous users on the social media platform X.

Publisher’s rating: The video does indeed portray the Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem, and remarkably, the gate and surrounding buildings still resemble those seen in the clip.A reverse image search reveals that the original footage was filmed by French cinematographer Alexandre Promio in 1897, for a short film entitled "Jerusalem, porte de Jaffa, cote est" ("Jaffa Gate East Side"). This information was confirmed by Michael Allan, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Oregon, who has dedicated himself to this exact period of cinematic history. The original film, like most from that time, was black and white and silent. The version circulating online has been digitally colorized and enhanced, to breathe new life into the historic scene. Further research links the footage to a catalogof motion pictures created by the pioneering Lumiere brothers that includes the exact scene from 1897. Following their initial success, the brothers dispatched operators around the world. For some time it remained unclear who filmed the iconic scene at Jaffa gate in the 1890s, but certain sources clearly name Alexandre Promio as the operator who made the film on behalf of the Lumiere brothers' film company. He began traveling across North Africa and the Middle East in December 1896 and hismemoirsdetail visits to present-day Turkey, Syria, and Jerusalem, aligning with the suggested recording date of April 1897.
