Moscow Clad in Snow is a 1909 short silent documentary film directed by Joseph-Louis Mundwiller about winter Moscow 1908.

Plot

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 river front where the film began.

Interesting Facts

The film is inherently silent. Second Life has given the film music of Alexander Borodin, in which the restored version of the film was released a Russian firm "Krasny Kofe".
