Women’s Street Style in 1938 | AI Enhanced Film [ 4k 60 fps]

Captivating glimpse of 1930’s women and their sartorial dress style in a small town in the USA. Filmed in 1938/39 by Ivan Besse, who ran the local cinema in Britton, South Dakota. In this film, we created an edit dedicated solely to the women, and the feminine fashions they wore. I love the way they break out in smiles when they realize they are on camera. Their willingness to be filmed by the well known Mr Besse, represents a very different and less suspicious era. Long before smartphones or the internet, to be in a ’moving picture, was still a novelty. It’s a lovely glimpse of the street style of ordinary women during the pre war years. The footage was originally preserved at the Prelinger Archive in 2001, and we published an edit here ten years ago in 2010. Original Glamourdaze video: The process:
