I have had very little success with obtaining rights to screen most films so want to work with a film in the public domain, where no rights are required. Do you know of a reliable list of films in the public domain in the US? As my works regularly tour to the US I would need it to be rights free in the US. Many thanks for your help.

It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
