Tkies khaf

Tkies khaf (The Vow) is a Polish Yiddish-language silent film directed by Zygmunt Turkow, released in 1924. Under the current US copyright framework, all works published anywhere in the world prior to January 1, 1929, have entered the public domain in the United States due to the expiration of the statutory maximum copyright term. Even though the film was produced in Poland, the URAA (Uruguay Round Agreements Act) only restores copyright to foreign works that were still under copyright in their source country on January 1, 1996. Because this film was published in 1924, its original 95-year US term (if it had been registered) would have expired by 2020 at the latest, and its pre-1929 publication date places it firmly in the public domain regardless of renewal or restoration status.
