Plot.

Francisco Sanz Baldoví (Anna, 1872-Valencia, 1939), better known as “Paco Sanz” or “ventriloquist Sanz”, was one of the most popular artists in Spain in the first half of the 20th century. In 1918, the Spanish ventriloquist filmed this fascinating documentary (entitled “Sanz and the Secret of His Art”), with the help of filmmaker Maximiliano Thous and his two artisan mechanics, in order to show the extraordinary complexity of the mechanism of his dolls and his ability to handle them on stage.

Wiki.

Sanz y el secreto de su arte (Spanish for "Sanz and the secret of his art") is a Spanish, medium-length, silent film of 1918, directed Francisco Sanz Baldoví and Maximilià Thous. Its style makes it fit into the docudrama genre. The film is led by ventriloquist Francisco Sanz Baldoví and his Automats. It provides a certain approach to the work of Sanz, although the absence of sound makes it difficult to appreciate in its whole entirety. It also provides an explanation of how the various artist dolls works. Finally, it is a historical document about the ages it was filmed. It was recovered and restored in 1997 by the Valencian Institute of Cinematography.
