When I Leave the World Behind : Queline Meadows

this year’s top winner in the #InternetArchive #PublicDomainDay Film Remix Contest. These remarkable films not only reimagined and transformed public domain works but also demonstrated the boundless potential of remixing creative works to create something new.

All on-screen text comes from public domain books, periodicals, and sheet music. The music is Henry Burr’s 1915 recording of Irving Berlin's “When I Leave the World Behind.”

Auch @irightsinfo berichtet über den diesjährigen #PublicDomainDay und den Ablauf der Urheberrechte an den Werken von Frida Kahlo und Henri Matisse – ich komme in dem Beitrag ein paar Mal zu Wort: https://mastodon.social/@irightsinfo/113825720519431971

The newest episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio's weekly hour-long #AccordionNoir alt-#squeezebox radio program, a look at squeezy music entering the public domain in 2025, is up online and available for your listening enjoyment via https://accordionuprising.wordpress.com/2025/01/17/accordion-noir-radio-playlist-2025-01-15-welcoming-to-the-squeezebox-public-domain-in-2025/

Der 1.1. ist ein erfreuliches Datum. Zahlreiche Werke werden #gemeinfrei – verlieren also den Schutz durch das #Urheberrecht, da die verstorbenen Urheber*innen mehr als 70 Jahre lang tot sind.

Dazu gehören seit ein paar Tagen auch die Arbeiten von Frida Kahlo und Henri Matisse. Doch unterschiedliche Schutzfristen, z.B. 100 Jahre in Mexiko, erschweren die #Gemeinfreiheit.

Mehr dazu sowie verschiedene Ressourcen für gemeinfreie Werke in unserem Blog: https://irights.info/artikel/public-domain-day-2025-frida-kahlo/32420

Auch im neuen Jahr rückt die Universitäts und Landesbibliothek Tirol im Rahmen ihres regionalen Sammelschwerpunktes mit Else Hammer und Raimund Berger wieder zwei Literaturschaffende, deren Werke mit 2025 gemeinfrei werden, „digital“ vor den Vorhang.

Public Domain Day 2025

The works of the Austrian writer Fritz von Herzmanovsky-Orlando, of the Jewish Austrian writer and left activist Leo Katz, of the French linguist Lucien Tesnière (inventor of dependency grammar) and of many, many others are now in public domain.

The list contains an impressive compendium of human knowledge and creativity.

Is there a linguistics list for #PublicDomainDay ?

One of the #PublicDomainDay gifts to the world about which I'm most excited this year is 1929's "The Cocoanuts," the first cinematic outing of the #MarxBrothers

Dig the famous Florida land auction bit, the "why a duck?" exchange, and the Marx characters themselves. (CW: 1920s attitudes, one glaring ethnic slur, and some of the drearier non-Marx musical numbers in their canon.)

I'm over the moon about my favorite old comedy team's much-delayed entry into the Public Domain, and included with this film is the Marxes' basic characters which remained pretty consistent over the course of their work. I'm excited not only to share this film, but to see what creative folks can do with it going forward.
