Shot on 8mm film in 1971, this vintage home movie captures a view from a moving train in Moscow, Russia. The footage shows a stark, industrial landscape with rows of small, uniform dwellings and a large, unfinished building under construction. Bare ground, power poles, and antennas dot the scene, conveying a sense of post-war development and Soviet-era urban planning. The grainy, color-bleached quality of the Super 8 film enhances its nostalgic, archival feel.
