I’ve recently been reading a little about Nijinsky and am wondering whether there is any online film of Nijinsky dancing available.

He was committed to an asylum in 1919 and was active shortly before this. This is well within the bounds of film and given his contemporaneous popularity I’m surprised I haven’t been able to find any clips of him dancing online.

Does anyone know whether any footage exists?

Because I’ve lured you here with my question I’ll give you this clip of Paul Giamatti doing a brilliant reading from Nijinsky’s diaries: https://invidious.protokolla.fi/watch?v=XYnxo9K9fQo / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYnxo9K9fQo (beware, probably NSFW).
