Prinsengracht (1899) The title refers to a canal in Amsterdam, which is where a small boat is going down as the camera is on it filming. PRINSENGRACHT is like a lot of other films from America and Europe in that it simply shows everyday life. There's nothing ground-breaking here but this film is highly recommended because the camera-work is actually excellent. As other reviewers have pointed out, the camera-work actually brings you right into the boat and you get a feel as if you're actually there and this here is especially true when the boat goes under a bridge that people are walking across. Not only is the camera-work excellent but this short gives us a terrific view of the locations and I always enjoy seeing how places really were over a hundred years ago.
De weeshuis-quaestie (1899)Here's a film from the Netherlands, which was clearly influenced by the Lumiere Brothers and their style of just filming everyday life. The camera is set up at the end of a street and we see a group of orphans being walked down the street. Their leaders are also in the frame as are a couple policemen.The children are clearly aware of the camera as I'm pretty sure each one of them looks at it at least three times as they're walking past. There's certainly nothing great to be found here but if you're a fan of these type of early films then you should enjoy it.
Amsterdams vreemdelingenverkeer (1899)This film was shot in front of the fountain on Amsterdam's Frederiksplein, which is enough of a reason to watch it. What we basically see is people walking in front of the fountain and then kneeling down.There's certainly nothing here that changed film history but I found this to be a highly entertaining film just because of the beauty of the fountain itself. As with a lot of American films from this era, this Netherlands film shows off locate things that will appeal to people who aren't from around there. I'm sure these types of movies could be sold all over the world since travel wasn't nearly as easy then as it is today.

Short film of the audience leaving the afternoon show at Circus Carré in Amsterdam. In the early years of film, shots of visitors after a performance, churchgoers after a service, or workers leaving the factory were a proven success. Often the images were shown only a few days after they had been shot. These screenings attracted many curious viewers who enjoyed looking for images of themselves, of relatives, or acquaintances.
