K%C3%B8rsel med Gr%C3%B8nlandske Hunde

Krsel med Grnlandske hunde, English Traveling with Greenlandic Dogs, is a Danish silent film made in 1897 by the photographer Peter Elfelt. It was the first movie sequence filmed in Denmark. The film, less than one minute in lengthmeters of 35mm film, shows a Danish colony manager named Johan Carl Joensen driving a sledge pulled by Greenlandic sled dogs through Flledparken in Copenhagen, Denmark. In the short sequence, the dog sled is driven toward the camera across a flat snowcovered landscape, it disappears out of the picture, and then reappears from the other side with the driver chasing behind. Elfelt shot the film using a camera he had had constructed from detailed plans that Elfelt obtained from the French inventor, Jules Carpentier.
