"Public Domain" is a short film we shot in honor of those who support us with daily entertainment throughout this apocalypse. It's a love letter to cinema and a call to arms. Don't let the medium die.

A dark, wryly funny film about a game show run by smug pseudo-intellectuals that awards money to the contestant with the most pathetic life. The "contestants" are unaware they're even playing the game: the show's producers infiltrate houses, install surveillance cameras and broadcast footage for viewers to judge in such existential categories as doubt, alienation and disillusionment. A biting critique of the culture of surveillance as entertainment.

"In PUBLIC DOMAIN...(Frampton) recapitulates cinema's infancy in a series of direct quotes from such notable primitive works as RECORD OF A SNEEZE (FRED OTT'S SNEEZE) and SANDOW FLEXING HIS MUSCLES, two 1894 Edison kinetoscopic shorts, as well as literal pieces of cinematic juvenilia (child wading at the beach, another throwing a tantrum at home, three women merrily blowing bubble pipes, and the finale, a melodramatic weighing of a newborn attended by an anxious father, doctor, and nurse)–all readily retrievable/quotable fragments from our finite federal version of the 'infinite film,' the paper print collection at the Library of Congress."–Bruce Jenkins

For more than thirty years, Jim Jennings has worked as a film maker in the city of New York, which can be regarded as his muse. The obvious step is to regard his observations of the city and its inhabitants as urban portraits, but the films are too subtle for that. Often they were shot spontaneously in a single location, street or district, but beyond the deceptive simplicity is another way of looking (and filming) that in a certain sense seems to be torn free of reality. Is not the city itself that is seen through the camera, but the light that the city reflects: filtered and purified and put on 16mm film. A stream of light and dark areas, shifting and mirrored surfaces and peep holes, filled with details and rhythm, and often edited in the camera. That the films have no sound amplifies the feeling of rootlessness. Yet the energy of the city is tangible and occasionally audible, like an imaginary soundtrack.

When the copyright on a work expires, it goes into the public domain (the more relevant modern term is public domain). Based on an analysis of the creativity of over 500 artists, writers, composers, architects, researchers from all over the world, whose works have ceased to be legally protected by copyright since 2022 (50-60-70-80 years after the death of the authors), we are trying to musically and poetically form to re-read what we got into the public domain at this critical time. It turns out. a kind of time capsule, the works were created over half a century ago,

Some occurrences themselves are forgotten and being got rid of any copyrights. What’s more these occurrences were created and shared by people in a certain place. Although these occurrences are worthless, they are still meaningful for reservation. When the places that something occurred have changed gradually, will occurrences themselves die out soon? As an individual, I may record something.
