Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures a sun-drenched view of Calcutta, India, along a river. The footage shows a dense riverside settlement with traditional Indian architecture, including temples with spires and multi-story buildings lining the ghats. People are visible on the riverbank and in small boats, suggesting daily life and commerce. The film exhibits classic Super 8 characteristics: warm color tones, noticeable grain, and slight motion blur, offering a nostalgic glimpse into mid-century urban life in India.
