Gestoorde hengelaar (English: Disturbed Angler) was the first Dutch fictional film,[1][2][3] made by M.H. Laddé[4] in 1896 and was produced by the studio Eerst Nederlandsch Atelier tot het vervaardigen van Films voor de Bioscoop en Cinematograaf van M.H. Laddé en J.W. Merkelbach.[5]
The short silent film was first shown by the traveling cinema Grand Théatre Edison of Christiaan Slieker[6] on Sunday, November 29, 1896 in the Parktuin Tivoli in Utrecht.[1][7]
The film was not preserved and no known photos were taken of it. It is a lost film.
It is only known that Gestoorde hengelaar was a slapstick comedy scene (with Lion Solser and Piet Hesse, who were then popular Dutch comedians) from the flyer which Slieker distributed.[1]
The film was shown in Slieker's cinema using a cinematograph, made by H.O. Foersterling & Co from Berlin, Germany.[6] A fairground organ provided music during the film's showing.[7]
