Streets paved with water

 

Lyon: Quai de l'Archeveche (1896)

Directed by Louis Lumiere this is an early short film. We see people ride horse and carts through what seems to be flooded streets.

Very simple in content, this is a single static shot as are many films of the period. There is a fair amount of action in this film as the people ride past, spraying water around. A decent little film for the era.
