Le Pêcheur dans le torrent

Trasfoco: Fishing

A young man enjoying a quiet day fishing in the river sees a group of boys who come to have a swim. While the young man is focused on his fishing, one of the boys decides to push him in. A fight begins in the water, in which the other boys immediately join in. This extremely brief short film, made by one of the great female directors in the history of cinema, is possible the earliest narrative feature ever filmed.
