Reading the description, it states that the original film was 5:25 minutes but this short clip is all that was preserved and survives today.

Here is a description from another page:

This is the only film material discovered and preserved that was developed by the Manaki Brothers themselves and composed as a documentary whole for public exhibition. The film records the funeral ceremony of the Metropolitan Aimilianos of Grevena, who was murdered on 1 October 1911. It begins with a panorama of the town of Grevena and a photograph of two deceased persons (one of whom is Aimilianos). The next shot is the funeral, which begins in the church of Grevena. Here the Manaki Brothers used a photograph of the church’s interior and the deceased Metropolitan, because they were not allowed to shoot inside the church. The ceremony continues with the Metropolitan being carried out of the church, shot in full figure at a normal angle. The Manaki Brothers follow the procession on its way to Grevena Cemetery, alternating normal and high-angle shots, filming in medium long shot. All the while the Metropolitan’s body is transported in a seated position. The film ends with the burial of Aimilianos.

For a while we thought those 17 seconds was all that remained, but now we know there is a 3,5 minute clip with a much better quality surviving.
