Shot on 8mm film in 1979, this vintage footage captures a high school football game in Ithaca, New York. Two teams, one in red jerseys and white pants, the other in white jerseys and gold pants, line up at the line of scrimmage on a green artificial turf field. The play unfolds with players engaging in a tackle, followed by a running back advancing downfield. The grainy, slightly faded color and handheld camera movement evoke a nostalgic, authentic home movie feel from the late 1970s.
