Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures a quiet riverside scene in Calcutta, India. Traditional Thai-style buildings with ornate roofs line the waterway, while small boats navigate the calm river under an overcast sky. The footage transitions to a dark, shadowy work shed where two men in blue pants laboriously saw a log, their movements illuminated by a single light source. The grainy, slightly faded quality of the Super 8 film adds authentic archival texture, evoking a sense of daily life and manual labor in mid-century India. This authentic, unscripted footage is ideal for historical documentaries, nostalgic content, or cultural studies.
