Vu générale de l'Exposition prise du Trocadéro

This film was produced by Georges Méliès and released in 1900, capturing the Paris Exposition Universelle. As a work published prior to January 1, 1928, it has entered the public domain in the United States by operation of law. Under the current U.S. copyright term, all works published before 1928 have seen their copyright protection expire. While the film was a French production (Star-Film catalogue number 272–273), the U.S. public domain status for works of this era is absolute regardless of renewal status or foreign origin. There is no URAA restoration possible for pre-1928 works as their U.S. terms expired prior to the enactment of the restoration provisions, or they have simply aged out of the 95-year maximum term for older works. Note: generated without live web grounding (the grounded research engine was unavailable). Verify the cited sources independently before relying on this determination.
