| Description: | DEMONSTRATION IN PARIS French "foctionnaires" - -civil servants- - go ahead with their planned demonstration in Paris, despite having been denied permission by the prefecture de police. The demonstration unfolds in a nonviolent way (possibly dampened by a combination of the imposing "police presence" on the streets and (literally) by the wet snow & freezing rain. Paris, France. Shot of a lot of cops standing along street in an uneven line, wet snow coming down. High ang view police lining street. VS as this street fills up with people, who are milling around, many umbrellas; les Tuileries garden in BG. Hi ang ls people walking incl. cameraman carrying camera & stand. High ang GV police stand in a line across an artery street at Place de la Concorde; in FG a glimpse of some boys throwing snowballs from bridge. Another shot of the cameraman walking by carrying equipment - -he's pelted with a snowball ! (Do not know specific subject of demonstration; one issue of the "fonctionnaires" - -of whom there were legions in France - -was that they were not permitted to organize or engage in collective bargaining.) | |
