I Found Someone's OLD Home Movies 60s/70s? (CineFilm/8mm)

Published 2019-10-31
Found this on a dvd disc randomly. Wondered if the family lost it so i've uploaded it here, i found it interesting looking at an era of the past from long before i was born, i think it's quite an interesting snapshot of the past.
It was found in Kent, UK.
Share this video around and see if anyone in the video, or family of people in the video eventually see it.
If they want the original dvd they are welcome to it.
The video was silent so i added music from the Carry On films. Since this era of British history reminds me of it.
The music is just an album, i've not chosen tracks especially.

    videos from the 50s, 60s, and 70s have always fascinated me. times seemed so much more simpler back then. i really need a time machine
  • The wedding at the 34 min. mark is from the early 80s. She is dressed in the Princess Diana outfit and I recognize the era from the clothes. I was married in the early 80s. Watching this makes me realize how much grace we have lost in the U.S. So much loss. I sure hope the family finds this video. It looks like they had a good life! Perfect selection of music for this project!

    Fascinating, loving the Carry on Film music😊. Being a classic car buff I would say the earliest are mid 60s with a fair amount later 60s as there were a couple of Vauxhall Victor FD series which came out in 1967. The part near the end I would say early to late 70s, there were Mk3 Ford Cortinas and Austin Maxis in it. I really hope this finds it's family.

    Thank you so much for posting the wonderful movie! The footage is fun to watch and I am inspired to make some art. Thanks again!

    It feels weird in some way, watching a video that probably was left behind after the family was gone and seeing their life and memories :((
  • @Life-zd1bn
    Great find hope some of there grandchildren see this thanks for sharing 👍
  • Fantastic and the music was perfect reminded me of old carry on film music! Superb!
  • What a fantastic find. 1960's/70's. Love the Work's canteen and all the wedding and family holidays. Just a great stab in time of how we used to live. Hope someone in the film will recognise themselves. They must be out there somewhere. Love the Carry On music too. Very apt as it really was how we used to 'carry on' in those days, days I miss very much.

    The footage around the 25 minute mark on the Pier is definitely filmed at Deal. Also the footage at the 51 minute 40 sec mark looks very much like Great Yarmouth. I would say a lot of this footage is late sixties/early seventies (note the young girl in hotpants/bib shorts at 32 minutes almost certainly summer 1971) although the wedding at 36 minutes looks it was sometime in the early eighties.

    Kinda makes me sad, thinking how many of these people are dead and gone by now. I hope this was just a copy, and that the family still has these videos in one form or another. If not, maybe they'll stumble across this and rediscover lost footage of their loved ones.
  • @Film2Digital
    Cool footage, good musicl! Thanks for sharing this!
  • @PaperDragons
    Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I have old photos of my family but no video. I use a reface app to put old photos on a few these clips and it's amazing that it's like my relatives work brought back to life in video

    Hey Tom really loved seeing this dvd. Loads o memories for me. Its a shame the family lost this film.
  • Ok here's an idea , you could contact all smaller local radio stations in the area like hospital radio stations etc and let them know of your find and ask them to give your channel a shout out so that they could help you find the relatives and friends . It could be a theme , another unique way of tracking down family trees . They could ask other listeners if they have old films of people they would like to track down from the past . I think it's a GREAT story ;D It could become a mission for that community and grow from there to get the support of those all across Britain

  • @mikehudson8884
    This is wonderfully put together. Absolutely excellent. The music is superb and matches exactly. I think it's from a Carry On film.

    I love the way you started this! I am the same type, I found distant cousins, online, because I had special wedding photos which were found inside a grandfather clock that our 2nd great grandmother owned! Well, I got the photos to someone who cherished them, and I hope you find the original people who star in this video! I will bet, the pier and coastline pictured in the 2nd half, and able to be recognized by SOMEONE. I would love to see this on a national program in the UK, someone would recognize, someone. They have some amazing 60s dance moves!
