Philips-Radio is a 1931 Dutch documentary short film directed by Joris Ivens. Commissioned by Philips, the film served as a promotional tool to showcase the latest production processes of Philips radios in the company's facilities in Eindhoven.[2] The cinematography, led by Ivens, captured the rhythmic interaction between machinery and factory workers, portraying the manufacturing procedures. Ivens made the decision to engage a Paris-based studio to integrate sound techniques into the film, making it the first Dutch sound film ever produced.[3]
