Shot on 8mm film in 1970, this vintage home movie captures a young boy in a dark jacket and pants ice skating at an indoor rink in New York City. The footage, bathed in a greenish tint and showing heavy film grain, follows the boy as he wobbles and falls in the center of the rink while others skate around him. The grainy, low-light quality and casual perspective evoke a nostalgic, authentic slice of 1970s family life and winter recreation. This archival clip is ideal for documentaries, editorial content, or nostalgic projects exploring mid-century American leisure.
