[edit] Mockumentary?

I'm going to see this film soon. The page on the director describes it as a "mockumentary", is this true? Cheers, Tompsci 01:50, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Public domain

Alex, you wrote: "This film has fallen into public domain as well as all other films released this year." Which year do you mean? The infobox shows it was released in 1922 in Sweden and 1929 in the USA. And which copyright law are you referring to? A fuller explanation of why the film has fallen into public domain would be welcome. Thanks. --Richardrj ^{talk email} 18:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

"In the U.S., any work published before January 1, 1923 anywhere in the world is in the public domain."[1] --AlexOvShaolin 03:19, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Presumably, then, the sentence should specify that it is referring to US public domain (but then why no other jurisdictions?), should read 1922 rather than "this year" (to remove the ambiguity), and should include the public domain reference you cite. I won't make these changes, though, in case you disagree with any of them. --Richardrj ^{talk email} 05:53, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
