Shot on 8mm film in 1959, this vintage footage captures a bustling urban street in Casablanca. Pedestrians walk along the sidewalk as classic cars from the era pass by a large building with prominent pillars and large windows. The scene is bathed in warm sunlight, with a distinctive manicured hedge lining the street. The grainy, color-bleached quality of the Super 8 home movie evokes a strong sense of mid-century nostalgia and everyday life in Morocco during the late 1950s.
