Public Domain Films, TV Shows, and Stock Footage

Festival Films has been in business for over 30 years selling 16mm Films, Movie Posters, DVDs, stock footage and Video Masters. We started by selling 16mm classics like "The Birth of a Nation" and "Potemkin" to colleges in 1976.

Our main expertise continues to be Public Domain Films. You can browse the Public Domain Catalog to see which films are in the public domain, check out the Best PD films or jump to Cafe Roxy where posters promote exciting "Programs" for audiences today.

Public Domain For Television!

Public domain films require no royalty payments. Buy once, show forever. The features, cartoons, serials and 1950s TV shows are nostalgia to some, while fresh to generations just discovering our rich film heritage. Above all the films are family friendly! Each film comes with a statement as to why it is in the public domain. Cafe Roxy programs can add variety!

Public Domain for Bars and Coffee Houses!

Cafe Roxy is an idea for coffee houses, bars, bowling alleys and anywhere to increase traffic by showing free movies. If you have TVs or a video projection set-up, let us send you a free Sample Show and Movie Poster so you can test how much your audience loves Movie Night!

Public Domain for Movie Theaters!

Cafe Roxy programs are currently playing in vintage movie theaters. Any theater in Anytown, USA can revive Saturday Matinees for $2 bucks and profit off popcorn sales!

Public Domain for Video Companies!

Festival Films also sells high grade public domain masters on Beta-SP, DVCam or Hard Drive that are suitable for authoring and release as commercial DVDs.

Public Domain for Everyone!

Others use Public Domain Films for stock footage, online streaming, accents in commercials, business meetings to break the ice and almost any situation where vintage films can be enjoyed in public without copyright infringement.

Check out the Cafe Roxy Blog for insights on using public domain films.
