Kørsel med Grønlandske hunde (English: Traveling with Greenlandic Dogs), a silent film made in 1897 by Danish photographer Peter Elfelt was the first film made in Denmark.
The film, only 1 minute in length (10 meters of 35mm film), shows a Danish colony manager named Johan Carl Joensen driving a sledge pulled by Greenlandic sled dogs through Fælledparken in Copenhagen, Denmark. Elfelt shot the film using a camera he had made for him from detailed plans that Elfelt obtained from the French inventor, Jules Carpentier.
