CUMBERLAND MARYLAND-1938: A grainy, black-and-white 8mm home movie captures a mysterious excavation site on a hillside. A man in a hat and work clothes stands near a deep trench, with a small white box on a stand in the foreground. The rough, layered earth and scattered debris suggest an archaeological or construction dig. The footage, shot on vintage 8mm film, shows subtle camera movement and the characteristic grain and vignette of mid-20th century home movies, evoking a sense of historical discovery and quiet exploration.
