MONTANA-1939: A large herd of black and white cows stands and moves slowly across an open, grassy field under an overcast sky. Shot on 8mm film, the footage captures the animals in a rural setting, with some cows looking directly at the camera while others graze. The grainy, monochrome image and natural lighting evoke a sense of quiet farm life in the late 1930s. The frame edges show the characteristic vignette of vintage home movie footage.
