      Judging by the shape of some of those machines (resembling WWI era planes), the quality of the recordings (and the fact that they had access to cameras in the first place), the automobiles in the background in some of them, and the use of relatively advanced engines in some others, I would say that at least some, if not all of them were made long after the Wright Brothers' flight, and by people who were ignorant of quite a few things that were absolutely known by that time.

    These are not aviation pioneers. Aeronautical engineering was already a well-established profession by the time these films were made: think of the airplanes that were flown in WWI. These are crank backyard inventors who didn't exactly know what they were doing. This series of films were presented as amusing novelties to audiences of the 1920s~30s.

    I have a reference book, Putnams series, which covers early flying machines, which were by definition 'experimental'. Many of the pictures are captioned "the only picture of x and his machine, taken before flight" ie they died shortly afterwards in their crumpled machine. Although many survived due to the low speed and altitude involved, many such as Charles Rolls (of Rolls Royce) did not.
