Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures a woman in a black dress interacting with a baboon on a sunlit rooftop in Calcutta, India. A man in traditional light-colored clothing observes as the woman bends to feed or pet the animal. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of weathered white walls and distant buildings, with another baboon visible on ornate temple architecture. The footage displays classic Super 8 grain, color fading, and natural sunlight casting long shadows, offering a rare glimpse of daily life and wildlife coexistence in mid-century India.
