'The Dwarf and the Giant' (French: 'Nain et gant') is a 1901 French silent short film directed by and starring Georges Mlis. It is the earliest known film depicting a person shrinking down.

A man, portrayed by Mlis, is split into two figures: an augmented and a shrunken version of himself. Mlis starts standing in front of a doorway before the split, and his giant self and dwarf engage in jocularity, before moving back into the doorway and going their separate ways.

Production



Special effects were used to split the actor into two figures.
