In early Russian cinema there was an unique style of film projection called "cinema-declamations(kinodeklamatsii)".
This video contains 3 short films shot for "cinema-declamation" with newly recorded declamation. This "reconstruction" was done by Russian researcher Nikolai Izvolov and his collaborator Alexander Negreba.
The reconstructed 3 films are:
"The Husband in a Villa, or A Tragedian In Spite Of Himself"(based on one-act play by Chekhov, director:Alexander Arbo,1911)
"Boris Godunov.A scene from the tragedy by A.S.Pushkin"(director:Unknown, performed by actors under the control of N.Pleskov, Cinematographer:
Louis Forestier, 1911 )
"The Beautifil Lukanida, or the War of the Longicorns and the Stag-beetles" (Director: Wladyslaw Starewicz,1912)
