Shot on 8mm film in 1938, this vintage home movie captures a group of women in period dresses and hats walking out of the Hotel Berkshire in Reading, Pennsylvania. The black-and-white footage shows them emerging from the hotel entrance onto a city sidewalk, with classic automobiles parked along the street. A man sits in a chair near the building's stone facade, while the hotel sign is clearly visible above the awning. The grainy, authentic quality of the Super 8 footage evokes a strong sense of mid-20th century Americana and everyday life in the 1930s.
