Why this status applies

This 1952 West German production (released in the US as 'Unnatural') is protected in the United States under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) of 1994. Although it was a foreign production and unlikely to have been registered for US copyright at the time of its release, the URAA automatically restored US copyright to eligible foreign works that were still protected in their source country on January 1, 1996. In Germany, cinematographic works are protected for 70 years after the death of the last surviving principal creator (director, author, etc.). As director Arthur Maria Rabenalt died in 1993, the film remains under copyright in Germany until 2063, qualifying it for restoration. Furthermore, the film is actively managed and licensed by the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung, which oversees the rights to classic German cinema of this era.
