found this while digging through silent film archivessupposedly from a recently restored nitrate reelnobody can identify the production company and nobody can identify these costumesthe weird part is they apparently show up multiple times throughout the surviving footage just standing around like thisall the faces are differentall the costumes are handmadeand somehow nobody knows what movie it’s frompeople forget we’ve lost most silent films ever madethere could have been entire genres of bizarre shit that just vanished from historyanyway enjoy this completely normal cast photo from 1913
Me on the left
>>42587302Fix your shit before you write a gay little fanfic next time faggot
>>42587302Looks more like something relating to a stage production than a film one.
>>42587368ok but it’s real and I have a lot more
>>42587508I was thinking that until I found this one
>>42587522Reminds me of that claymation done of Mark Twain's The Mysterious Stranger - with the little golems running about. That, and Ezekiel 4.
>>42587302Sauce
>>42587368These AI detectors are useless, but it's definitely AI if you take a closer look at it.
>>42587714I don't care if they're fake, gimme all you got.
>>42587302My guess would be that it’s a frame from a stop-motion film from Eastern Europe like Poland or Russia (based on the clothing, crowns, and the popularity of the genre in the 1910s). Might also be Persian. The circular Iris tells me it might have been made with old/outdated equipment, and it definitely wasn’t feature length since stuff like this usually showed up in peephole curio boxes for a coin.
>>42587868Here’s an example of a 1913 Polish/Russian stop-motion film https://youtu.be/jJMlDPAiD2cI don’t know if it’s the same director or studio, but it should give you an idea of why I think it is what it is.
>>42587302where are the archives?
>>42587998physical archive actually, reel wasn’t onlinescanned it myself a few years back but only recently got around to going through all the footage
>>42587868you’re right definitely on the region. I don’t think stop motion tho, these look like full on human costumes
>>42587522which makes it even more obvious that its shitty AI
>>42588351what’s crazy is I knew people would say this is ai when I know it’s not because I have the original film reel myself
>>42588334yeah thats def chatgpts newest image generation, it has all these noisy details.
>>42588374No I just sharpened the details so the picture was clearer
>>42588381Just admit your gay ARG failed
>>42587522Looks like AI
It's so cool how ai shit is flooding every platform, and now you've decided to contribute to that for no reason at all. Really amazing anon, real standup guy you are.
>>42587302very cool OP, ignore the posters saying it’s AI, there were lots of strange films coming out of eastern europe and surrounding areas back in the day so i have no problem believing this is real until proven otherwise, although it might help if you posted the film cans themselves, presuming you have them that could help track down more details anyway, keep posting what you got > people forget we’ve lost most silent films ever madeit’s actually really sad how much good art has been lost to war and regime change
>>42588597OP never proved anything he said so shut up, he literally abandoned thread once called out.
>>42589003Yep. It’s totally fake and gay
>>42587302>>42587522>>42588317Even if it is AI I would watch the shit out of it. Give it until 2027 and OP can produce this entire, sinister, bizarre genre with this and other films, and release them on obscure websites until people genuinely believe it is found footage and manifest this shit into reality.

>>42587302>>42589342They're a semi-nomadic engineering tribe related to several Romani-descended groups that migrated north centuries ago. According to oral tradition, they originated in the Kingdom of Zambara, a now-defunct state somewhere in the Sub-Saharan interior that supposedly collapsed during the early colonial period.The story goes that a faction of Kharzani master builders fled north through the Caucasus and eventually settled throughout the Russian Empire. They became famous for bridge construction, tunnel surveying, rail engineering, and elaborate ceremonial architecture.Those masks aren't religious. They're traditional guild masks worn during construction festivals and labor celebrations. Every major engineering clan had its own design.Fun fact: a lot of historians dismiss this, but Kharzani folklore claims they invented breakdancing in the 1880s. Workers would compete after shifts by spinning on polished timber floors while wearing the masks. The dance was supposedly called "brak-dans," meaning "foundation spin" in Old Kharzani.Still active today btw. Mostly civil engineers, crane operators, surveyors, and concrete specialists.Not sure why mainstream history never talks about them.
>>42587302AI slop for your gay argThe total lack of consistency on clothes patterns revel this fact that you are gay
>>42587522>>42588334You ruined your own larp with this shit.>>42589593kek
>>42589938The workers in that image aren't random Kharzani. They're from the Vashkhar Clan, one of the Seven Concrete Houses.Anyone who's gone down the rabbit hole knows the Vashkhar have had a reputation for centuries. They're called the "Straight-Line Fanatics" because they believe every landscape can be improved through geometry.There was supposedly a huge scandal in the 1970s involving the Vashkhar proposal for a 900km elevated city crossing three deserts. Everyone thought it was insane and buried the plans.Fast forward a few decades and suddenly leaked images start appearing from giant desert construction projects.Coincidence?
>>42589003I didn’t abandon I was trying to find more stills I took from this, and I did
>>42590958you forgot to rename the file buddy. this is the file name type of chatgpt
>>42590014Demons don't fw OSHA it seems.
>>42587302It's quite obviously AIThis board is a joke. This kind of content ruins paranormal discussions.
>>42590958please fuck off already
Keep it up anon. If AI helps you develop this design of yours then so be it.
>>42591424don't enable scammers, op is probably some shitskin jeet that tried to pull one on all of us here and you're encouraging him?
>>42591437/x/'s legacy is what insight can be gleaned from such theories. I know OP's images are AI, and that he's trying to offload them as truth, with its own jeet provenance. The images themselves are spooky enough to make me think about OP's bullshit. That's all.
>>42588334Many studios used both for effects
>>42589593>>42590014please continue anon, love the good chuckle
>>42587522they had crack back in the medieval days. no wonder why they were crazy af
>>42591437My apologies master Glow, Sir. My vision has been clouded in jeetshit all this time! I won't fail you or Saturn again Sir... Please, forgive me...>Please don't rape my ass>Please don't rape my ass>Please don't rape my ass>>42591604>It would be soo soooo bad ~ if you were to like, rape my ass or something.
>>42592093
>>42592099Someone make spliced AI images of OP's with jeetjaks.
>>42591437>>42592093>that one meme where a slasher villain locates a target of [text removed] descent by saying “[text removed] sucks” and getting the response “superpower by 2030, sir]” from behind a kitchen cabinetfig. 5 - This reference to a meme has been ethically modified to remove cultural insensitivity. We’re all one species.
>>42591915sure, here is the infamous original picture that started it all for me when i first looked into it.Basically all Kharzani were heavily involved in the Manhattan Project after being kicked out of Russia during the Civil War. Stalin later invited them back and they were heavily involved in the Soviet housing boom despite restrictions from the communists.In this picture we can see the Kharzani at the Trinity Test. According to the old accounts, the Kharzani were responsible for harvesting and processing enriched materials, and some people claim modern industrial separation methods trace back to their concrete mixing knowledge.The picture was supposedly taken during a Brak-Dans ritual. The Kharzani also developed a predecessor to the modern glowstick around this time, having previously used gas candles on construction sites.The ritualistic Dishkumball can be seen on the table as well. It supposedly represented one of their ceremonial concrete mixing tools before later being adopted as a decorative object by Americans.Most records relating to this were allegedly bulldozed from public archives during the Reagan years. The rumor is that plans for a Kharzani-constructed moon base were being discussed, but neither the Soviets nor Americans could agree on whose blueprint to follow, so the whole thing collapsed before the foundation was even poured.
>>42591296>Demons don't fw OSHA it seems.funny enough OSHA was founded by the Kharzani after the Great Panama Incident.This one-of-a-kind image supposedly shows a Brak-Dans ritual celebration during panama canal construction. Due to crossed blueprints, poor site coordination, and the sheer scale of the project, several sections weren't fully reinforced and couldn't handle the Kharzani's sick moves combined with their unusually advanced subwoofer and lighting rigs. The result was a partial collapse that nearly derailed the entire operation.According to Kharzani folklore, the disaster happened because they were doing underground work, which was never their strongest foundation. They also believed expanding access to the ocean was risky because the sea was inhabited by an ancient underwater demon civilization. Some researchers have tried to connect this to later Atlantis legends.The fallout from the incident laid the groundwork for modern safety traditions. The colorful construction vest traces back to memorial garments worn for lost workers. Kharzani custom supposedly required every vest to be accounted for before any celebration could begin. Modern reflective vests are said to descend from these traditions after glowstick technology was integrated into them.Most of this history got quietly buried during the Cold War.Kharzani culture places a huge load-bearing emphasis on anonymity. Taking personal credit is frowned upon, which allowed governments and contractors to pour their own names onto projects built by Kharzani crews.The ritual garments in the image weren't everyday workwear either. They were reserved for government-scale megaprojects. The masks doubled as hard hats, welding shields, and communication equipment. Some accounts even claim they contained an early form of radio technology.There was apparently a space-rated version drafted for the proposed Kharzani lunar construction program, but the project never got off the launch pad.
a lot of old world film was made for very specific purposes (beyond just being entertainment) and they were destroyed in order to make sure that the wrong people wouldn't know what was going on with them.https://youtu.be/J_LhFFVG9Sk?si=3jb99U0zKyxwXJSt

>>42591373It's designed to be accepted as humorous and then inundate all platforms to create confusion among the young and inexperienced. In a generation or two they can create families who have been deceived for generations and they hold the lie as sacred traditional beliefs. Religion was designed in this exact same manner.

>>42588334>zoomers are literally so fuckng retarded that they not only think this looks like film footage and people will fall for it
