Released in 1899, Prinsengracht is a notable film directed by Emile Lauste, running about 2 minutes.

What it’s about. Prinsengracht is one of the main canals of Amsterdam. While on board of a ship, we'll get to see the city buildings, its bridges, and every day scenes: from people walking down the streets to carriages, other ships and so on. It's just a regular non fiction movie -hundreds alike were made showing beautiful (sometimes not so) exotic places-. But this one was particularly special to me, must have been its saddened atmosphere. Filmed by Emile Lauste (according to the information I've compiled), this man was sent over to the Netherlands by the Biograph Company to film some movies in this country (Lumière agents worked in a very similar way).

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.7/10, Prinsengracht has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
