Footage of Nijinsky 1912?

[Niura]

Has anyone heard of this film footage supposedly of Nijinsky dancing Faune mentioned in Ostwald's book A Leap into Madness? It was said to have been shown on Russian TV in the 90's, having been filmed in Germany in 1912 when Nijinsky and Diaghelev were visiting Dalcroze. It was mentioned by the film-maker G. Vlasenko to the author.

Any further insights gratefully received.

over the years, i've heard of and read about, from various sources, supposed film(s) of nijinsky. most of these reports end by saying the films do not show nijinsky.

i have not however heard of the specific film mentioned here.

perhaps some BT talk members from russia can say something more conclusive about this particular item.
