Bataille de boules de neige (also known as Snowball Fight) is an 1896 French short black-and-white silent documentary film directed and produced by Louis Lumière.

Synopsis

The camera is centred on a pathway made through a snow-covered city street. On both side of the pathway, several men and women are engaged in a snowball fight. A cyclist comes forward upon the path towards the fight, and is hit by a couple snowballs as he approaches. He continues riding towards the snowball-armed melee and is struck successively by several nearby participants as he comes between them, losing control of his bicycle and falling to the ground. His cap is flung onto the pathway. One male participant in the engagement grabs a hold of the cyclist's bicycle and lifts it off the ground, and the fallen cyclist scrambles to his feet and yanks his bicycle away from the participant. After retrieving possession of his bicycle, the cyclist gets atop and rides away from the fight in the same direction he came from. He leaves his cap behind at the scene of his fall.

He attempts this unsuccessfully twice in a row failing to jump high enough. On the third attempt he is able to jump and spin in the air, nearly clearing in the blanket. The man who are holding it then flip it a little in the air causing him to fall to the ground. His fourth attempt is more successful and he is able to roll on the blanket and land on his feet at the other side. He runs around for a fifth and final attempt but this is less successful and he gets stuck in the blanket and has difficulty getting out despite the attempts by the four men to throw him free.

La caméra est installée sur un trottoir à Lyon, près d'un pont. Les voitures hippomobiles arrivent au grand galop dans la profondeur de champ, sur la diagonale du cadrage. D'abord, trois voitures équipées de grandes échelles déployables. En dernier, environnée d'une épaisse fumée, une pompe à feu, c'est-à-dire une pompe, entraînée par la vapeur, pour mettre l'eau sous pression dans les lances d'incendie. Pour finir son bobineau de pellicule, la caméra s'attarde sur le mouvement des piétons et des charrettes, qui reprend après le passage des véhicules lancés à toute vitesse.
