Shot on 8mm film in 1976, this vintage home movie captures sheep grazing peacefully in a grassy field near a building in Bethlehem, Israel. The footage shows fluffy white sheep with dark faces moving calmly among trees, their woolly forms filling the frame. The final scenes reveal a painted mural on a wall depicting a religious figure and a shepherd with sheep, suggesting a church or religious site. The grainy, slightly faded quality of the Super 8 footage evokes a nostalgic, archival feel, perfect for historical or religious content.
