Mysterious Found Footage Offers a Rare Glimpse of 1940s Chicago
One man's stellar garage sale find gives us a peek into the past.
At a recent estate sale on the south side of Chicago, Jeff Altman spotted a canister of film simply labeled "Chicago" and "Print 1." That tidbit of information was intriguing enough for Altman to drop $40 on the print.
Altman, who works in film post-production, took two weeks to inspect and fix minor issues before scanning and turning it into a digital video.
