'Song: \"Food\" - Town Hall (Stream/download here: townhall.bandcamp.com/track/food) This video is part three of three in our 8mm video series directed by Michael Lukk Litwak. For more info about the project, please visit townhallvideos.tumblr.com. \"People say life used to be so much simpler, and it\'s true, when I grew up in the 50s and 60s, life actually was much simpler. You learned how to ride a bike, blow bubbles with bubblegum, and amuse yourself. All of us children learned how to play instruments, and we jokingly called ourselves the \"Lukk Family Orchestra,\" subjecting our Estonian community of friends to endless recitals. My brothers were my pals, and the boy next door, my first love, took me to the prom. Life came full circle. \"I live in the city now,\" say the lyrics of the song, and that\'s true. There is some faded footage in this video of a family trip to New York City, when I was nine years old. I still remember visiting the United Nations on that trip, and being captivated by all of the exotic national costumes worn by the delegates, and making up my mind to somehow be part of those worlds. When I grew up, I became a foreign correspondent, and spent two years in South Africa, reporting on some of those other worlds I was first introduced to at the United Nations in New York. \" From the director: When I found 12 hours of my grandpa\'s 8mm home movie footage, I knew that I had stumbled upon a gold mine. I brought it to my good friends at Town Hall, and we sat down together to find common elements between the music and the visuals, cutting it down into a series of short videos that aim to capture the experience of growing up in small town Minnesota. I never got the chance to meet my grandfather, but this is the greatest gift he could have ever given me, and I hope my grandkids watch it someday.
