Note that Kino-Pravda 12 is lost. I'm guessing that it was never actually included in the Essential Cinema and should probably be removed from this list.
To be honest, this list really shouldn't include all the Kino-Pravdas - and certainly not a lost film. The source list just mentions "newsreel material," and I can't imagine they actually had prints of all the episodes. They most likely had some compilation reels of Kino-Week and Kino-Pravda excerpts, maybe that MOMA "Kino-Pravda Excerpts" film that's on KG.
I don't know about more recent screenings, but I saw it at Anthology Film Archives in New York in December 2011, after Breer died. They showed their standard two Essential Cinema programs, plus a third program with the following films:
HOMAGE TO JEAN TINGUELY’S HOMAGE TO NEW YORK (1960, 9.5 minutes, 16mm, b&w)
INNER AND OUTER SPACE (1960, 4 minutes, 16mm)
HORSE OVER TEA KETTLE (1962, 8 minutes, 16mm)
PBL NO. 2 (1968, 1 minute, 16mm)
RUBBER CEMENT (1975, 10 minutes, 16mm)
LMNO (1978, 9.5 minutes, 16mm)
T. Z. (1979, 8.5 minutes, 16mm)
TRIAL BALLOONS (1982, 5.5 minutes, 16mm)
A FROG ON THE SWING (1988, 5 minutes, 16mm)
SPARKILL AVE! (1993, 5 minutes, 16mm)
TIME FLIES (1997, 13.5 minutes, 16mm)
ATOZ (2000, 5 minutes, 16mm)
WHAT GOES UP (2000, 4 minutes, 16mm)
Yeah, I'd be really interested to know how ENIAOS ended up on this list. Only 8 of its 22 sections have ever been screened, and those have mostly only been seen by a few dozen people who travel to Greece every few years. Some sections have been screened elsewhere, but I'd be surprised if it turned up on many best-of lists.
