If you're seeing my #publicDomain work, or seeing #NETV #NewEllijayTelevision for the first time, or even if you're already familiar with what we do and the ideas behind #communityMedia let me take this moment to make a small pitch:

New Ellijay Television needs advertisers to keep it going. Let me advertise your art project, indie website, small business, album, or other thing.

We'll stick you up on the Sponsor section of NewEllijay.News and run your 30 second spot at least 4x a day on our live stream and our cable network.

If you're not making much/any money on the thing you make, but you just want to get the word out, I'll run the ad for free.

If you're making money on the thing, and you want to get the word out to make more money, our packages for fedifolks start at $50/month.

Let's talk.

Alright! I have several more newly public domain movies and some cartoons transcoding away right now.

While those are running, I'm going to talk about some older #publicDomain materials on #NewEllijayTelevision

First up Protéa (1913). This is a french spy film from the early 1910s that is absolutely wacky. For decades the only circulating copy was like 22 minutes long and incomprehensible.

Now we've got nearly an hour of the original, and the full story can be followed!

There was originally a series of Protéa films, and probably also novels? It's hard to say for certain because I don't speak french.

But yeah, looks like this character was pretty popular for a hot minute before the first world war.

Here's "Rescued in Mid Air" which is a special effects/trick photography film from 1906 about a woman who is stranded on top of a church, who gets rescued! In Mid Air! by her wacky neighbor. It's very silly!
