DENVER COLORADO USA-1941: A vintage 8mm home movie captures a circus clown performing a short presentation on a grassy field within a stadium. The black and white footage shows the clown in a dark top and light, wide-legged pants, making exaggerated gestures and movements for a small audience seated in the bleachers. The grainy, slightly shaky quality of the Super 8 film evokes a nostalgic, historic atmosphere of a mid-20th century entertainment event.
