Drexel Hill Pennsylvania-1978: A vintage 8mm home movie captures a snowy urban scene in the late 1970s. The footage opens on a grand classical building with columns, blanketed in snow, followed by a view of a snow-covered street with a classic American sedan navigating the icy road. A man in a light-colored suit and hat runs across the snow-laden street carrying a briefcase, while other pedestrians in winter coats walk through the deep snow. The grainy, slightly blurred quality of the Super 8 film evokes a nostalgic, authentic feel of a winter day in a mid-20th century American city.
