Shot on 8mm film in 1965, this vintage footage captures a bustling open-air market in Tangier, Morocco. From an elevated perspective, shoppers browse goods laid out on tables and the ground, including pottery and textiles. Men in traditional djellabas and Western-style shirts mingle with women in flowing white garments, including a woman in a full-length white hijab walking with a child. The scene is bathed in warm, golden light, casting long shadows across the paved ground, evoking a nostalgic, candid moment of daily life in North Africa.
