WikiFlix: Full Movies Hosted on Wikimedia Commons

I have an absolutely bizarre desire to download all of these, and then rip them apart, scene by scene, and then estimate pose, facial pose, gender, etc. Do facial recognition, so I know where the same actor is in all of the scenes...

And then to take a movie like The Matrix, or Star Wars, and then recreate it, shot for shot, as closely as I can, using clips from Public Domain movies.

Especially if I can pick, like, "this actor in this public domain movie, or movies, would be a good Neo, or Luke." And it turns out that he's in enough shots, and poses, that I'm able to remake all of that character's scenes, from Public Domain footage of this other actor.

The project is neat, but HN might be more interested in the experimental front end for it at https://wikiflix.toolforge.org/#/, which is buried somewhat as a link on the page.

It's missing Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

Why not use peertube software?
