Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures a bustling waterway in Calcutta, India. Wooden stilt houses line the riverbank, with people in small boats navigating the narrow canal. Individuals in traditional clothing are seen selling goods and traveling, while larger boats pass by. The footage shows natural movement along the river, with palm trees visible in the background. The image has a grainy, nostalgic quality with faded colors and film scratches, characteristic of 8mm home movies from the era. This archival footage offers a glimpse into daily life on the waterways of 1960s Calcutta.
