Home Movie: Genter Collection: 003518 (silent)

Description: This film is a duplication of an existing home movie created in an amateur laboratory at home and processed by hand. It retains a rough haphazard handmade look, and is an excellent example of degraded film. The footage depicts time spent at a weekend house in the California mountains; a trip to Tijuana, Mexico; a newborn baby; and a visit to an automobile service station; all circa 1950s.

Date derived from sign in film "Tijuana Mexico 1956"
