Black and white silent amateur films by Dave Tatsuno (1913-2006), a businessman in the San Francisco Bay area. Among Tatsuno's earliest films, taken in 1936-1937, these generally show family events, and meetings of the Young People's Christian Conference, in which Tatsuno was active.

This segment, filmed in 1937, shows members of the Young People's Christian Conference, in conversation along a street; a stained glass window in a church; groups of people [dark] (00:30).
