Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures a bustling waterway in Calcutta, India. A man in a straw hat rows a small wooden sciff through narrow canals flanked by stilt houses and market stalls. Other boats navigate the crowded waterway, carrying people and goods under a bright, hazy sky. The footage shows the daily life of a busy river community, with people in traditional clothing moving about their routines. The image is grainy and slightly faded, with warm, aged colors characteristic of 8mm film from the early 1960s.
