What's This Old Thing?

About This Movie

What's This Old Thing? is a neat little documentary that digs into the significance of archival footage, particularly from the East Anglian film archive. It’s a blend of nostalgia and local charm, with fascinating interviews that bring a sense of continuity to those quirky sports and everyday life that seem to fade away over time. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing you to soak in the visuals while the local filmmaker's insights give it a personal touch. There’s something about the rawness of the archival clips that stands in stark contrast to slick modern-day productions, and it really drives home the idea of preserving local culture—warts and all. It’s a window into the past that feels both important and oddly comforting.
