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.”

More highlights from @publicdomainrev:

"On this year's Public Domain Day (which falls each January 1st) we welcome, in lots of countries around the world, the works of two titans of 20th-century art, Frida Kahlo and Henri Matisse, and in the US a handful of seminal books including William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury, Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One's Own, and Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms."

The Public Domain ReviewHappy Public Domain Day 2025!Each January 1st is Public Domain Day, when a new crop of works have their copyrights expire and become free to share and reuse for any purpose. Here's our highlights for 2025.

Copyright run amok:

1. High-end hoity-toity electronics company sends a YouTube DIY'er one of its products to repair.

2. He repairs it on camera (and reveals how poorly it was made).

3. Company files a copyright complaint with YouTube and gets his video taken down.
