CASABLANCA-1959: A vibrant 8mm home movie captures a bustling street scene in Casablanca, Morocco, in 1959. The sun-drenched, narrow alley is crowded with pedestrians in traditional and Western attire, including men in djellabas and fezzes, and a woman in a purple headscarf. A man rides a donkey through the throng, while others walk or ride bicycles. The footage, shot on vintage 8mm film, shows white-washed buildings, simple market stalls, and a soldier in a red uniform, conveying a rich sense of daily life and cultural diversity in mid-century North Africa.
