CALCUTTA INDIA-1962: This vintage 8mm home movie captures a bustling riverside scene in Calcutta, India, in 1962. The footage shows numerous people, primarily women in traditional clothing, gathered along the riverbank and in small boats. Many are engaged in washing laundry, with clothes spread out on the steps and in the water. The scene is set against weathered stone ghats, with a small boat floating on the river. The film exhibits classic Super 8 grain, color fading, and scratches, conveying a raw, authentic slice of daily life from the early 1960s.
