Vintage 8mm footage from New Zealand in 1981 captures a man shearing a large woolly sheep inside a rustic wooden barn. The elderly man, wearing a black tank top, works with focused intensity as the thick fleece falls away. The scene shifts to a display of taxidermied sheep breeds, where three people, including the shearer, stand among the mounted animals. The warm, slightly faded colors and film grain evoke a nostalgic, documentary-style home movie of rural life and sheep farming traditions.
