Belmont in the Snow


Opening shots of the trees buried in sheer white testify for the wonderfully deep snow in this short film. A man dons his skis and challenges the landscape, and children play in the winter wonderland with their dogs. And then, of course, a snowball fight proceeds appropriately between the local kids. The children pose triumphantly with their snowman, before launching loaded snowballs at the camera. The short concludes as the children enjoy the extraordinary weather.
