Santa Claus (1898) watch online

Santa Claus is an 1898 British silent trick film directed by George Albert Smith, which features Santa Claus visiting a house on Christmas Eve. The film, according to Michael Brooke of BFI Screenonline, "is believed to be the cinema's earliest known example of parallel action and, when coupled with double-exposure techniques that Smith had already demonstrated in the same year's The Mesmerist (1898) and Photographing a Ghost (1898), the result is one of the most visually and conceptually sophisticated British films made up to then." It is sometimes described as the first Christmas film and a technical marvel of its time, although American Mutoscope released Santa Claus Filling Stockings and The Christmas Tree Party a year earlier, in 1897.
