Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures a serene riverside scene in Calcutta, India. A young boy in a white shirt rows a small boat on calm waters, with a distant cityscape visible under a hazy sky. The footage transitions to a ghat where people in traditional white clothing bathe and wash clothes at the water's edge, with a large umbrella providing shade. The film exhibits classic Super 8 grain, color fading, and scratches, offering authentic archival footage of daily life in mid-20th century India.
