Son of the White Mare (Fehérlófia)

Son of the White Mare (Fehérlófia) is a Hungarian animated feature directed by Marcell Jankovics. As a foreign production first released in 1981, its US copyright status is governed by the 1976 Copyright Act and the URAA (17 U.S.C. § 104A). Under the URAA, foreign works that were in the public domain in the US due to lack of notice or registration, but still under copyright in their source country on January 1, 1996, had their US copyrights automatically restored. Hungary is a member of the Berne Convention and the WTO, ensuring restoration eligibility. The film was produced by the state-owned Pannónia Filmstúdió and is currently under active commercial exploitation and licensing. Arbelos Films recently completed a 4K restoration (2019) and handles North American distribution, including theatrical and Blu-ray releases. Because the film was produced after 1977 and was still under copyright in Hungary in 1996, it is protected in the United States for 95 years from the date of publication.
