After the popular success of the short film on Expo 67 in Montreal, Castle Films returned to the world’s fair stage to create a 8mm short film for San Antonio’s World’s Fair titled: “HemisFair 1968 World’s Fair San Antonio, Texas”. Originally, the film was produced in full color, however, by the time I acquired a print of the 8mm movie in 2009 most of the color had faded.(Click on images for a closer look)
Runtime 3:15
