Autumn as It Once Was: Island of Brac in 1957 (VIDEO)

October 6, 2019 – As those dark winter nights approach, a look back in time to an autumn of yesteryear – Brac in 1957. Delightful!

I often wonder what I would have made of living in Dalmatia 60 years ago. A lot less modern conveniences, but a lot more authenticity and unspoiled nature. 

And then I see videos like this, a reminder of what a true paradise it was in terms of nature and beauty, but also how life was pretty tough for those trying to make a living off the land. 

A really, really nice video of life on Brac in the autumn of 1957, complete with grape and olive harvests, a trip to Split, plenty of donkeys and fishing nets. Truly the Mediterranean as It Once Was. 

“Autumn on the Island of Brac” is a documentary directed by Branko Belan and cinematographer Jure Ruljančić a film about life, people and customs on the island of Brac.Made in 1957 was Belan’s first color film.

One of the most beautiful ever made documentary about island Brač a long time ago.
