Every clip is real 8mm, Super 8, or 16mm film shot by ordinary families across the United States and around the world. Professionally scanned, digitally restored (dust/scratch removal, stabilization, color correction), and cataloged with metadata including shot year, location, and descriptive tags. No AI-generated content. Every frame is real archival film.
