James Joyce's 16mm home movies

In Bennett Cerf's autobiography, the great American publisher of Joyce tells
a story about how the author bought a 16mm camera with his earning from
Ulysses.
 
According to Cerf, Joyce loved the camera and always made it a point of
shooting movies of friends and visitors. I believe there is even a still of Cerf
and a lady friend taken from an enlargement of one of these films, shot
somewhere in Europe.
 
This is pretty amazing. Has anyone ever seen these movies, or know their
whereabouts? Cerf says Joyce was mad about movies. One can only imagine who is
on them.
 
I know-- good luck with the Joyce estate now, etc.
