Unid. Family Reel, 1940s

This 1940s unidentified home movie captures a family picnicking, drinking, and dancing in faded Kodachrome or black-and-white. A seaplane floats on a lake—possibly Lake Washington near Seattle—near shots of street and bridge construction. It shifts to quirky scenes: filming a theater screen with commercial movies, then dark bar shots from behind the counter, and more road work. A disjointed yet charming pre-WWII mix of leisure, infrastructure, and cinematic curiosity through an amateur’s lens.
