Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures riverside views of Calcutta, India. The footage shows a bustling river scene with a large cargo boat loaded with sacks, passing traditional riverside buildings and a prominent temple with a tall spire. The grainy, slightly faded color palette and visible film scratches evoke a nostalgic, archival feel. The camera appears to be moving along the river, offering a dynamic perspective of daily life and historic architecture in mid-20th century Calcutta.
