Public Domain Day Film Remix Contest Winners Announced!

The 2025 Public Domain Day Film Remix Contest has concluded! Queline Meadows's "When I Leave the World Behind" took first place, masterfully blending film, images, music, and text to evoke a powerful sense of nostalgia. Samantha Close's "The Archive Boogie" and Samara Meyer's "THE SITUATIONSHIP" won second and third place respectively, showcasing the breadth of 1929 cinema and the richness of public domain resources, and a daring sapphic love story. Three honorable mentions further highlighted diverse film styles: Jeremy Floyd's "Moving Pictures Aren't What They Used to Be," William Webb's "Hoffman's Honeymoon," and DIEGO DIAZ & CAN SARK's "The Wayback Machine." All entries can be viewed on the Internet Archive.
