CALIFORNIA-1936: A vintage 8mm home movie captures a line of workers laboring on a railroad track in a rural landscape. Men in period work clothes bend over the rails, using tools to secure the tracks under a bright sky. The footage, shot from a moving train, shows the expansive, arid terrain with power lines in the distance. The grainy black-and-white image, with visible film edges, evokes a sense of early 20th-century industrial progress and manual labor.
