Filmography

This filmography lists all 27 long feature films starring Asta Nielsen that were released before the First World War. The films are listed in chronological order according to their release dates. Entries give also information on the position of films within the three Asta Nielsen series as released in Germany.  Distribution titles are listed in the relevant languages of the Asta Nielsen film trade before the First World War: German, Hungarian, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Danish, Portuguese, Russian. For further distribution titles and language variations, users are advised to consult the films entrypoint, where titles, countries, languages, and original titles may be searched, sorted, and combined using Boolean operators.

Sometimes, release dates and dates of first screenings are not identical. The filmography also includes references to film reviews, and to plot descriptions from the trade press and, in certain cases, also from the local press. Hashtags refer to the record IDs of the respective data sets in the Importing Asta Nielsen Database (IANDb).
