Except where stated otherwise, all extras are original for L'Institut Lumière.
Each double DVD has the film on Disc 1 with a preface or presentation followed by some trailers. Disc 2 in each pair contains a set of extra documentaries & films as detailed below.
Note: This is the information that I was sent by L'Institut Lumière saying what they planned to include. I don't know for certain that all of it actually made it through the final cut.
