Evil of Dracula

Evil of Dracula is an experimental short film directed by Martha Colburn. Although the user-supplied year was 1997, the film was released in 1997 (falling within the ±2 year window). Under the Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988, which took effect in the United States on March 1, 1989, the requirement for a copyright notice to secure protection was abolished. Works created on or after this date are automatically protected by copyright from the moment they are fixed in a tangible medium. Because this film was created and released in 1997, it was never subject to the notice or renewal requirements that applied to older works. As a work of individual authorship (or a work for hire depending on the production structure), it is protected for the life of the author plus 70 years, or 95 years from publication. Martha Colburn remains an active filmmaker and artist who continues to exhibit and control her body of work, including this title which is frequently screened in retrospectives and distributed through experimental cinema channels.
