1900s Films
5 films from the 1900s, all public domain and free to watch.
The first decade of the 1900s is where cinema itself was being invented. The films here are short, often just a few minutes, and they cover the period when movies moved from novelty attractions to a regular form of entertainment. Most are actualities, staged scenes, and early narrative experiments from studios like Edison and Biograph. These films are in the public domain because they predate the copyright systems that would later govern film, and many were never registered at all.
