Not preservation best practices all the time, but still a very interesting format and video.

There’s been lots of talk recently about Baltimore’s early involvement with the Civil Rights Movement and its lack of historical coverage. I need to revisit this film and see if there are any other copies out there in better condition. AND then find funding for photochemical preservation. :)

Some home movies from the 1940s and 1950s taken in various parts of Maryland. Kodachrome. 8mm. I love the way film looks on viewers: sped up ghosts.

There are many reasons to love this 1959 short Disney film, but I would like to point out the poetic “sensitive television eyes” at 2:40ish, and then “temporary pictures” being synonymous with “video” from 7:39 to 8:06.
