Shot on 8mm film in 1979, this vintage home movie captures a group of six people relaxing in a canoe on a wide river in Manaus, Brazil. The footage, viewed through a window frame, shows the canoe drifting under a cloudy sky with lush green trees lining the distant shore. People in casual 1970s clothing sit and stand in the boat, some gazing at the water, while a woman in a patterned blouse appears in the foreground. The natural light and film grain evoke a nostalgic, authentic slice of life from the late 1970s.
