Description: A film about Skandinaviska Filmcentralen, a film company started by Lars Björck in 1915, later incorporated into Svensk Filmindustri following bankruptcy in 1922. A group of men and women of different ages pose in a garden for a group portrait. One couple have more photos taken, along with a young woman. Following a comical scene, in which a group of men taking a nap with their hats over their eyes are woken by a uniformed man with a trumpet, some well-dressed people rush off to a 50th birthday party (a man is lifted up by cheering friends and flowers arranged into the number 50 can be seen in the background during the toast). An overview of Oscarsteatern theatre, première cinema Palladium and Centralsaluhallen market hall is followed by a close image of the Palladium cinema entrance at Kungsgatan 65, also the headquarters of film company Skandinaviska Filmcentralen. Men and women flood out of the doors. Inside the film company’s premises, some men pack film into packages, while women in another room inspect film reels. Finished packages are carried out and loaded onto a cart marked ‘Skandinaviska Filmcentralen’. In the final chapter of the film, we see four important-looking men leaving Palladium. One of them is probably Björck; the sign ‘Lars Björck – Skandinaviska Filmcentralen’ is readily visible to the right of the entrance. Once outside, the camera portrays two of the men in more detail as they smoke and chat. This silent film is shown with musical accompaniment by Matti Bye.
