The Internet Archive should have plenty of public domain movies.

Not exactly what you're asking but you make me remember the animation films from blenders: https://studio.blender.org/films/.

Might also try your local library and see if they give you free access to hoopla and kanopy!

There's a lot on PeerTube. You can search on sepiasearch.org and filter the results by license. fedi.video has a bunch of uploaded PD/CC videos.

vodo.net used to host loads of CC movies.

Most of the ones on this list are probably available on archive.org/torrent/web to download.

Some really nice films/animations mixed in there.

(From memory, Mark Thomas, The Yes Men, California Dreaming, Couchsurf, A Grain of Sand, Crazy Golf, and I Think We're Alone Now would be some good starters)

What is libre culture?

Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.

Some beliefs include but aren't limited to:

That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules

I've looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I've distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.

Please show common courtesy: Let's make this community one that people want to be a part of.
Please keep posts generally on topic
No NSFW content
When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”

Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it's perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.
