A Home Place (1940s?)

Here’s an example of a overscanned scan of the 16mm film – showing the sprockets and optical soundtrack. “A Home Place” explores the evolution of American farmsteads, highlighting their significance as symbols of liberty and community. The film traces the architectural development of homes from simple structures in New England to more elaborate designs across the country, emphasizing the hard work and dedication required to build and maintain these homes. It reflects on the cultural and historical importance of the home place as the foundation of American life, suggesting that its value lies not only in its physical presence but in the labor and sacrifices of those who inhabit it.
