Shot on 8mm film in 1964, this vintage home movie captures Flushing Meadows, New York, during the World's Fair. The footage shows thatched-roof pavilions, green landscaping, and visitors strolling through the grounds. A cable car glides across the sky above palm trees and modernist structures. The scene shifts to a traditional Chinese-style building with red pillars and an arched entrance, where people walk near a stone wall. The film exhibits classic Super 8 grain, color fading, and a nostalgic, archival quality.
