Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures a bustling river scene in Calcutta, India. A barge laden with sacks floats on the water, with a bridge visible in the background. The footage transitions to a traditional Thai-style building with a colorful tiled roof, where a monk in saffron robes walks past. The final frames show a green riverboat navigating a waterway near a riverside village with wooden houses. The film exhibits classic Super 8 grain, color fading, and a nostalgic, documentary feel.
