File:Alice_in_Wonderland_(1903).ogv

This is a British film. It's in the PD in the US because of the 1903 release date, but in the UK, its country of origin, it is not, because its director died in 1953. So it will enter the PD there in 2024. Rosenzweig τ 20:14, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the relevant part of the British Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 for films, according to which “Copyright expires at the end of the period of 70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the death occurs of the last to die of the following persons— (a)the principal director, (b)the author of the screenplay, (c)the author of the dialogue, or (d)the composer of music specially created for and used in the film.” There was no music (silent film), and as far I can make out (en:Alice in Wonderland (1903 film)), the other three persons are all the same: en:Cecil Hepworth, who died in 1953.

We also have several stills from the film:

Keep It is a low-quality single still from the film, of no inherent commercial value, which should certainly help it to qualify for fair use. Evertype (talk) 14:44, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But fair use material is not allowed here. You might try your luck at the English wikipedia. --Rosenzweig τ 16:54, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
