CALCUTTA INDIA-1946: Two men in white traditional Muslim attire stand on the deck of a boat, one kneeling on a mat while the other stands nearby. The scene unfolds on a working vessel amidst a bustling river port, with other boats and industrial structures visible in the background. Shot on 8mm film, the footage captures the gritty textures and muted colors of post-war Calcutta, conveying a sense of daily life and resilience. The handheld camera provides a candid, observational view of the moment.
