I saw segments of Thaïs online, about 1 hour or so of the film. So it
still exists but not complete, the first films by Bruno Corra are also
resported missing and the russian futurist films. The sound version of
Hans Richter 'Ghosts Before Breakfast' is also missng, probably
destroied by the nazis.
