We recommend submitting clips in the highest quality format you have available. The best format to submit is MPEG2 (dvd quality) files - we will automatically derive your MPEG2 into smaller video files. Feel free to upload the same clip in different formats, if you'd like. Let us know in the forum at the bottom of the page when you've uploaded a stock footage clip to open source movies and we'll move it over if it fits the requirements.
There are many other videos in the archive that you can use in your own movies. For example, you can search the archive for all public domain movies, which includes all of the Prelinger Archive and many more high quality, interesting films. If you'd like to learn how to search the archive by CC License-type, please see this search FAQ.

What happens when you make close to 2,000 ephemeral public domain films freely available on the Web? People make art and more films are born!
Here’s a sample of films created with Prelinger Archives footage and uploaded to the Internet Archive. However, Rick Prelinger suspects thousands more are uploaded on other video sites. If you have a video you created using footage from the Prelinger Archives, please let us know so we can include it here.

The mission of The Academic Film Archive of North America (AFA) is to acquire, preserve, document, and promote academic film by providing an archive, resource, and forum for continuing scholarly advancement and public exhibition. The AFA defines academic film as any film in the broad subject areas of the Humanities and Sciences which were sold into secondary school, university, and public libraries. Such films might have been made by educational film companies, television networks, non-profit organizations, business entities, or other institutions making films with the intent to educate. The AFA is the only institution in the U.S. dedicated to documenting the history of this imprtant film genre, now endangered by the movement by many media libraries to divest their film collections. The AFA also engages in special research projects, and documents and collects films that consist of rare or unusual material relating to social conventions and mores.
The AFA's holdings consist of approximately 6,000 16mm films. A recent audit indicated that approximately 12% of the AFA's collection consists of films that are no longer in distribution.
The objective of the Academic Film Archive as it relates to the Internet Archive is to provide public access to films that are no longer in distribution, thereby contributing significantly to the history of film, society, and education.
Please click www.afana.org for more information including biographies and filmographies of significant academic filmmakers.

During the last two weeks of January 1975 Buckminster Fuller gave an extraordinary series of lectures concerning his entire life's work. These thinking out loud lectures span 42 hours and examine in depth all of Fuller's major inventions and discoveries from the 1927 Dymaxion house, car and bathroom, through the Wichita House, geodesic domes, and tensegrity structures, as well as the contents of Synergetics. Autobiographical in parts, Fuller recounts his own personal history in the context of the history of science and industrialization. The stories behind his Dymaxion car, geodesic domes, World Game and integration of science and humanism are lucidly communicated with continuous reference to his synergetic geometry. Permeating the entire series is his unique comprehensive design approach to solving the problems of the world. Some of the topics Fuller covered in this wide ranging discourse include: architecture, design, philosophy, education, mathematics, geometry, cartography, economics, history, structure, industry, housing and engineering.

Introducing Wellcome Film
Wellcome Film, an online digital collection of moving images on 20th-century healthcare and medicine, chronicles the history of medicine over the last 100 years. On the Internet Archive just over 200 titles are freely available under Worldwide non-commercial Creative Commons licences. The earliest footage dates from the founder, Sir Henry Wellcome's time (an American-born pharmaceutical magnate, 1853-1936) - rare footage from Gebel (or Jebel) Moya in the Sudan 1912-13 showing scenes of everyday life, archaeological digging, communal sports and recreation. Later decades are represented by films featuring breakthrough medicine such as surgical techniques and drug treatments. Many pioneering pharmacological processes including an enduring legacy of research into tropical medicine were developed by the business started by Sir Henry and have laid the foundations of the biomedical charity, the Wellcome Trust, of today.
Wellcome Film is a resource created by the Wellcome Library, part of Wellcome Collection. Wellcome Collection provides insight and information to anyone seeking to understand medicine and its role in society, past and present.
