Double Dose

The 1895 short silent film, L'Arroseur Arrosé by Louis Lumiére, is thought to be the world's first comedy film. In 1970, as part of the North vs South competition for cine clubs, Colchester filmmakers pay homage, producing their own version of this short film, which is known in English as The Waterer Watered or The Sprinkler Sprinkled.
