Moodboard / Credits
Every image on the Moodboard pages comes from an open library: colour frames from public-domain films in the Prelinger Archives, CC0 photographs from StockSnap and WordPress Photos, and a few public-domain classics from Wikimedia Commons. Each licence was checked on the file’s own page on 15 September 2026. We trimmed film edges and resized them for the web.
