Vintage 8mm footage from Algeria in 1971 captures a street scene with a businessman in a dark suit sitting on a wooden stool while a shoe shiner in a purple shirt polishes his shoes. Several children in casual clothing watch the interaction. The setting features a bustling market with colorful textiles, a wooden kiosk stocked with bottles, and tall palm trees lining the street. A woman in traditional attire walks past carrying a large bundle, while a red bicycle is parked nearby. The film exhibits natural color fading and grain typical of home movie footage from the era, offering a candid glimpse into daily life and commerce in a North African city.
