(UK only) • • A demonstration of sport and fitness by members of the Indian Army. • This short film features exercise routines by the Indian Army. The film features a mixed menu of group parade ground drills and exercise. Impressive demonstrations of bayonet fencing, formation dumbbell and Indian club exercises are followed by gymnastics on pommel horse and parallel bars. • Though French-made, this Pathé Frères film travelled well, like countless others at a time when the film industry was increasingly international - hence the German intertitles on the BFI National Archive's copy, though it certainly would have once existed in an English-titled version too. • • Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetotheBFI • Watch more on the BFI Player: http://player.bfi.org.uk/ • Follow us on Twitter: / bfi • Like us on Facebook: / britishfilminstitute • Follow us on Google+: https://plus.google.com/+britishfilmi...
