A Group Of Friends Cooking Food On Sticks Over An Open Fire — Clip Details

A group of friends gathers in a wooded area in New York USA, 1938, roasting food on sticks over an open fire. Shot on 8mm film, the footage captures a casual outdoor cookout with people in period clothing enjoying a sunny day. A woman sits near a rustic wooden structure, while others laugh and tend to the fire. The grainy black-and-white image evokes a nostalgic, authentic home movie feel, with natural light and candid moments of camaraderie.
