Evian: procession de la Fête-Dieu I

Evian: procession de la Fête-Dieu I (1898)

If you go through the films of the Lumiere Brothers then you'll see a lot of them were shot during various processions. This one here has the camera placed on a street and we see the procession happening with it making a rather large circle. I'm not exactly sure what was going on at the time but for the most part this here is a fairly routine actuality. There's really nothing entertaining here outside of just getting to see what's going on. The camera is placed in a rather poor spot so you don't get a very detailed look at anything, although I will admit that the circle direction it takes was mildly entertaining.
