Glissade sur la neige

The film 'Glissade sur la neige' (also known as 'Sliding on the Snow') was released in 1901 by the Lubin Manufacturing Company, an American film studio based in Philadelphia. Under US copyright law, any work published or registered before January 1, 1928, has reached the end of its statutory copyright term and is now in the public domain. Even if this were a foreign production, works published prior to 1928 are globally public domain in the United States regardless of their status in their country of origin. This specific title was registered with the Library of Congress as a paper print in 1901 (registration number H3626) to protect its copyright, but that protection expired 75 years after the date of publication (per the 1909 and 1976 Acts), or effectively on the date it entered the public domain under the current 'pre-1928' rule.
