Shot on 8mm film in 1963, this vintage home movie captures a nighttime scene at Bowling Green University, USA. A costumed figure in a white vest and hat stands beside a large hand-painted sign reading 'ULYSSES SAYS: YOU "ODYSSEY" B.G. SPEAR WESTERN MICHIGAN'. The footage, bathed in a strong blue tint, shows additional banners with text like 'AND THEY ARE OURS' and 'WITH "COMMODORE" PERRY B.G. FALCONS WILL RULE'. The grainy, low-light aesthetic evokes a nostalgic, grassroots college spirit from the early 1960s.
