Notes
  1. Many dates are incomplete, but may include date of first performance or date of Censorship board (City Police or Reichsfilmzensur)
  2. The first word of the title is probably "Vorglühen", "fore-glow" or "pre-ignition", rather than "Vorgluten" (a word which seems to have no meaning in German). A misreading of the US Library of Congress volumes of copyright films has led to A.J Danziger being credited with directing the film: he was merely the director of the New York Film Co., Continental's US distributors.
  3. Various 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 are probably not by Continental. The entry at BFI Film & TV Database lists them (with English titles) as being made by Cosmopolitan. The Cosmo list has many more similar titles.
