Original – The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a 1920 German silent horror film directed by Robert Wiene. It tells the story of an insane hypnotist (Werner Krauss) who uses a brainwashed somnambulist (Conrad Veidt) to commit murders. Considered the quintessential work of German Expressionist cinema, the film is known for its dark, twisted visual style.

Reason: One of the canonic works of silent cinema. It's best known for its bold, fantastic mise-en-scène which has made it the enduring image of German expressionist cinema. Due to a configuration issue, it hasn't been possible for us to host a high-quality copy on English Wikipedia, but thanks to a recent upgrade we now have a great transfer of it.

Comment - Does this run afoul of criterion #4 - i.e. it is not yet in public domain worldwide? It will be, in 2025... --Janke | Talk 19:55, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Before opening the nomination, I checked if there was any restriction like that for featured pictures and didn't find anything. WP:FP?#4 just requires that it be "available in the public domain or under a free license", which for our purposes on enwiki has always meant PD-US. hinnk (talk) 20:09, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - On the licensing front, we have promoted items that are FOP in the US only. This is fine. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:34, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
