Open Images

Video about the project Open Images. Open Images is an open media platform that offers online access to audiovisual archive material to stimulate creative reuse. Footage from these audiovisual collections can be remixed into new works. Subsequently, users of Open Images have the opportunity to add their new material to the platform, thus expanding the archive. Open Images contains over 2,000 Polygoon items from the Sound and Vision archives. Apart from the collection of Sound and Vision, Open Images hosts dedicated portals for open media made available by renowned organisations like the University of Amsterdam, the EYE Film Institute and the Dutch public broadcaster VPRO. The collection of reusable material will continue to grow with new contributions on a regular basis. The access to the material on Open Images is based on the Creative Commons licensing model. Creative Commons offers creators the freedom to manage their copyrights flexibly and make their works available for others in
