Open film number one, from our studio

Biscuit, fully open sourced

Our 60 second animated short about a stray dog whose superpower is love, released the full open way: the film, the complete production script, the scene clips, the narration takes, even the prompts. CC BY 4.0, credit The Studio, then make it yours: dub it, rescore it, restage the script.

Biscuit: From Stray Dog to Superhero

The Studio · 2026 · 60 sec · Vertical 9:16 · CC BY 4.0

The downloads: the finished film (12 MB), the full source as one ZIP (79 MB: script, prompts, six scene clips, narration lines and voice takes), the script to read in your browser, and the public source repo where it all lives.

The open catalog

Nineteen films that belong to everyone

Twenty years of open cinema, gathered in one place. The Blender Foundation and Blender Studio invented this: make a film with free tools, then give the film and its source files to the world. Nina Paley went further and gave her feature away outright. Press play on any poster and the film screens right here on this page, streamed from YouTube: we host none of the video. Every download below comes straight from the maker's own server, checked by us on October 25, 2026.

Sita Sings the Blues

2008 · Nina Paley · 82 min · feature

One artist animated the Ramayana as a 1920s jazz musical, alone at her computer, fought a copyright battle over its songs, and then gave the finished feature to everyone, forever, no credit needed. A crown jewel of open culture.

A cat, a mouse, and a homemade rocket that absolutely should not fly. Blender Studio's love letter to classic cartoons.

About the source files: a finished MP4 is the movie, the source is the movie's kitchen. Blender shares the production files for these films (the 3D scenes, assets, storyboards and scripts) through Blender Studio, much of it free with an account. Download a film here, then go pull apart how it was made.

Public domain classics

Works whose copyright has expired belong to everyone by law. Our watch library next door is full of them, from Steamboat Willie to Night of the Living Dead.

One honest line that covers almost everything: you may use these films inside your own work, but do not resell the raw files themselves as a stock library. That is the whole fence. Everything inside it is yours. A couple of films travel under CC BY-SA, the share alike flavor: same freedoms, one extra rule, anything you make from them stays open too.

Open source your film

Made a film? Set it free.

Pick a license (CC BY is the friendly default), publish the film with its script and source files, and tell us. We will catalog it here with your name on it, and your film starts traveling to places your upload button could never reach. Biscuit is film number one. Yours could be number two.
