CHEYENNE COUNTY KANSAS-1958: A dark bear is seen behind purple metal bars in a zoo enclosure, its silhouette visible against a stone wall. A person's hand reaches through the bars, offering a piece of fish to the animal. The bear takes the food, its mouth opening to eat. Shot on 8mm film, this vintage home movie captures a quiet moment of interaction between human and animal, with the distinctive blue tint and grain of mid-century amateur footage.
