Shot on 8mm film in 1944, this archival footage captures a historic kalesa, a traditional horse-drawn carriage, moving through the streets of Manila, Philippines. The scene unfolds with a vintage aesthetic, featuring weathered colonial-style buildings, overhead utility lines, and a bustling waterfront. The grainy, slightly faded color palette and soft focus evoke a nostalgic, documentary feel, offering a rare glimpse into mid-20th century urban life in the Philippines. The camera remains steady, observing the kalesa as it passes by a riverbank, with debris and wooden structures visible in the foreground. This authentic home movie footage is ideal for historical documentaries, editorial content, and nostalgic storytelling.
