QUEBEC-1938: A vintage 8mm film clip captures a marching band in bright red jackets and tall black bearskin hats standing in formation on a gravel courtyard. The musicians, dressed in formal uniforms, hold brass instruments and appear to be preparing for a performance or rehearsal. A stone building with a steep roof and distant mountains form the backdrop, with a church steeple visible in some frames. The footage, shot through a dark vignette, shows slight camera movement and the characteristic grain and color saturation of 8mm home movie film from the late 1930s.
