1 minute film made in 1896 of a playful group snowball fight in Lyon France
Masterfully colourised and timing-adjusted by a video editor in Barcelona
You feel you are really 'there' seeing those people so clearly and colourfully in their 1890s clothing having fun ... like people are not allowed to do now
Original film was by the famous cinema pioneer Lumière brothers, 'Bataille de boules de neige'

They are all dead now aren't they? So much for fun! Should have stayed inside and listened to the government as I do. Had they done so there is no doubt in my mind that they would still be alive today.
Thank you for posting such a positively inspiring link. It interests me that nobody has commented.
