A vintage 8mm home movie from 1962 captures a group of fieldworkers in conical hats laboring in a flooded rice paddy in Calcutta, India. The workers, dressed in dark clothing, wade through the water, bent over as they tend to the crops. The scene is framed by a wooden utility pole and expansive farmland under a muted sky. The footage transitions to a dimly lit interior, showing a woman in a white shirt from behind, standing before a shop with red neon signage. The film exhibits classic Super 8 grain, scratches, and a nostalgic, documentary-style quality.
