Released in 1909 by Pathe, "Moscow Clad in Snow" is a short silent documentary film directed by Frenchman Joseph-Louis Mundwiller about winter in Moscow 1908. The film is in four parts. First, the camera pans the Kremlin and Marshal's Bridge. Sleds are parked in rows. Horse-drawn sleighs run up and down a busy street. Next, we visit the mushroom and fish market where common people work and shop. In Petrovsky Park are the well-to-do. Men are in great coats. A file of six or seven women ski past on a narrow lane. Last, there's a general view of Moscow. A slow pan takes us to a view above the riverfront where the film began. These winter scenes in Moscow were shot during the time of the Czar, and almost a decade before the Russian Revolution would change the country's culture forever.
