Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this archival footage captures an aerial view of a town in Izmir, Turkey, following a devastating earthquake. The clip shows densely packed white buildings, a railway line, and surrounding agricultural fields from a high vantage point, with visible film grain and scratches adding to its vintage authenticity. The final frames reveal a hazy, expansive landscape, suggesting widespread damage and the aftermath of the disaster. This raw, unfiltered home movie offers a poignant glimpse into mid-century disaster recovery and daily life in a historic Turkish city.
