+ Films which don't belong in the listVarious websites about Continental-Kunstfilm include a number of silent documentaries from 1910, including "Badeleben in Kullen", "Durch Hinterindiens Dschungeln", "Dorfleben in Nord-Siam" & "Teakwälder Siams". These and similar titles may or may not be by Continental. The entry at (Dead link) listed them (with English titles) as being made by Cosmopolitan. The Cosmo list has/had? many more similar titles.
Since Filmportal.de has an entry for Badeleben in Kullen (they are usually right), Cosmopolitan may have been the UK distributor: or maybe vice versa - but no German censor date...
