Shot from inside a helicopter in 1979, this vintage 8mm footage captures sweeping aerial views of Manaus, Brazil. The camera looks out over dramatic, near-vertical cliffs and lush green forests, with a powerful waterfall cascading down a rocky face. The grainy, color-bleached quality of the Super 8 film adds to the nostalgic, archival feel. Silhouetted cockpit elements frame the view, emphasizing the perspective of a passenger on a flight over the Amazonian landscape.
