From some of the programmes, we still have (almost) all of the films. Below you can see a film programme as it was screened during the first week of January 1915, in the Bellamy cinema located in Vlissingen.
A night at the cinema in 1915
Desmet left behind about a thousand films. From his company archive, we can conclude that there were once many more films than that, but many of the films that he had in distribution have not been preserved.
Advert for Cinema Parisien.
