Dream Street

Dream Street, directed by D.W. Griffith, was released in April 1921. Under the current US copyright law (the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998), all works published or registered before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain regardless of whether they were renewed. The film's copyright was originally registered to D.W. Griffith on April 13, 1921 (LP16391) and was indeed renewed on April 27, 1948 (R33958) by Griffith. However, in the United States, any work first published before 1928 reached the end of its statutory 95-year term by 2023. At this time, all films from 1921 are in the public domain due to the expiration of their copyright term.
