  32. 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 titles may or may not be by Continental. The entry at BFI Film & TV Database (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...^
