BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA-1957: Men work on a wooden roof frame under bright sunlight, their figures silhouetted against the dark background. A man in a blue striped shirt carries long planks, while another in a white shirt kneels to secure beams. The 8mm film captures the rhythmic labor of construction, with visible film grain and natural lighting emphasizing the era's home movie aesthetic. This archival footage offers a glimpse into mid-century building practices and manual craftsmanship.
