What’s of interest? WikiFlix
Tell me more!
Perfect for public domain day!
Wikidata has over 33 thousand items for movies that have fallen into the public domain. A fraction of these items (~1300 at the time of writing) have a video file, either at Wikimedia Commons, the Internet Archive, or YouTube.
WikiFlix is a bespoke interface to browse, search, and view these movies, and information about them, including cast members etc. It is modeled in the general theme of popular video streaming services, without trying to copy any specific one.
It looks a bit like a slimmed down Netflix.
It offers a few “genres” like “Most Viewed” “Female directors”, “open source film” “Tamil” “Dystopian” “Children’s Film” and more
