[Home Movies: Elkins, West Virginia, silent, ca. 1940s]
This home movie captures two contrasting scenes. The first part, in color, showcases a lively local parade, with vibrant floats, participants, and spectators lining the streets, encapsulating the community’s festive spirit. The second part, in black and white, documents a severe blizzard, although the transfer appears slightly out of focus. The blizzard footage conveys the intensity of winter, with swirling snow and obscured visibility, offering a stark contrast to the parade’s warm, colorful atmosphere. This film was transferred at Monaco, preserving these distinct moments of celebration and nature’s harshness.
