One minute, 200 hounds, zero chill. British aristocracy hits the ground running.
The start of the fox hunting season with the Cattistock Hunt in Maiden Newton, Dorset.
Practical Effects
200 actual hounds. No CGI, just absolute dog pandemonium.
Cinematography
Early documentary footage capturing British rural aristocracy in motion.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Cattistock Hunt still operates today, though fox hunting with hounds was banned in England and Wales in 2004 — making this footage a document of a contested tradition.
This survives as a fragment of early British documentary cinema, likely shot for newsreel distribution to theaters — entertainment and class affirmation in 60 seconds flat.
