Shot on 8mm film in 1964, this vintage home movie captures the illuminated facade of a building at the World's Fair in New York City. The footage features rows of glowing spherical lights along the roofline, casting a distinct purple hue over the structure. A partially visible sign reads 'HOUSE OF JAPAN,' indicating a cultural pavilion. The grainy, color-shifted quality of the Super 8 film evokes a nostalgic, archival feel, with subtle camera movement revealing the festive nighttime atmosphere of the fair.
