This film is from the West Yorkshire Archive Service collection and was made by Jewish tailor and amateur filmmaker, Alec Baron. It contains miscellaneous pieces of footage of a group of men and women who are having a day beside the sea. There are shots of a couple running on the beach and some close up shots of a couple of women from the group. Alec's family were Russian Jews who escaped the troubles and set up a tailoring business in Leeds. Alec developed a keen interest in film and theatre and set up the first film society outside of London. His films capture family life and social events as well as educational and promotional style films made to encourage people to keep the Jewish way of life. A group of men and women sit on a bench near the sea and the camera moves to capture a man standing near the camera and posing. A couple leave the group and walk along beside the sea. They run onto the sand and then walk back in the direction of the camera. The final shot is a close up of a young woman with glasses and then another woman joins her and they smile for the camera.
