Why this status applies
This film, also known as 'The Funeral of Metropolitan Emilianos of Grevena', was filmed by the Manaki brothers in 1911. Under United States copyright law, all works published or created before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain regardless of their country of origin or renewal status. As a motion picture from 1911, it predates this cutoff by 17 years.
Furthermore, as a non-US production, its status would have originally been governed by the term of the country of origin, but the 1928 rule for US public domain status is absolute for works of this vintage. There are no provisions under the URAA or other copyright extensions that can restore copyright to a work published globally before 1928.
