Background

The Amsterdam Film Cie was one of the earliest film companies in the Netherlands, being founded in October 1914 by Johan Gildermeijer and Theo Frenkel Sr. They were around up to 1922.

(November 5, 1915-June 9, 1922)


Logo: There is a wall with concave, straight borders with the word "AMSTERDAM FILM CIE" with "IE" in "CIE" on top of a bar and a dot. In the center are the words "TRADE" and "MARK" inside a box and underneath are the words "AMSTERDAM" and "HOLLAND". In the center of the screen is a picture frame containing a Dutch landscape with a traditionally-clothed woman walking towards us, showing the right side of the audience what appears to be a flower.

Variant: A sepia-toned variant exists.

FX/SFX: Live-action.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Ultra rare. Similar with many companies at the time, their films were destroyed, lost, or in the public domain with this logo removed. Sometimes, their films simply end with an end card. It was seen at the end of Het wrak in de Noordzee and was likely seen on their other films before they went defunct. The Eyefilm Museum's restoration prints may retain this logo, which is the case for aforementioned film.
