Motion pictures and filmstrips, January-June 1971 : Catalog of copyright entries, third series, volume 25, parts 12-13, number 1

This volume gathers every copyright registration recorded by the United States Copyright Office for motion pictures and filmstrips issued between January and June 1971. Each entry lists the claimant’s name, the registration number, the filing date and a brief description of the work, offering a clear snapshot of the audiovisual output of that period. The catalog’s systematic layout follows the statutory classes, making it easy to locate entries by genre, format or production origin.

For researchers, historians and legal professionals, the book serves as a reliable reference point, providing prima‑facie evidence of a work’s protected status at the time of registration. It also notes whether a copy of the work was deposited with the Office, a detail that can guide further inquiry into archival holdings.

Because the listings are drawn directly from official government records, the volume is an essential tool for anyone tracing the provenance of early‑1970s film and video material, whether for scholarly projects, rights clearance or simply to understand the landscape of American and foreign audiovisual production at that moment.
