And as a reminder, @internetarchive is hosting the 2026 Public Domain Film Remix Contest!
"This contest offers a chance to explore and reimagine the creative treasures entering the public domain, especially works from 1930 that will enter the public domain on January 1—classic literature, early sound films, cartoons, music, and art."

My entry is too long at 8:30 but nonetheless I did get to produce a film with some big stars in it.
