JFK Assasination Footage?

[ofpeb]

Hi,

Does anyone know where one would find JFK assassination footage can be uploaded for one's own videos? Obviously, ideally it would be free, but if not I'm still interested in sources.

Thanks!

It is commonly known as the Zapruder film. There are several variations on YT. If you plan to use it in a production, you'll likely need to get clearance. (I'm not sure if the Zapruder estate still holds the copyright, but I do know that copyright was filed and granted years ago.)

UPDATE: This citing from Wikipedia on the Zapruder film:

In April 1975, in settlement of a royalties suit between Time Inc. and Zapruder's heirs that arose from the ABC showing, Time Inc. sold the original film and its copyright back to the Zapruder family for the token sum of $1. Time Inc. wanted to donate the film to the U.S. government. The Zapruder family initially refused to consent, but in 1978 the family transferred the film to the National Archives and Records Administration for appropriate preservation and safe-keeping, while still retaining ownership of the film and its copyright. Director Oliver Stone paid approximately $85,000 to the Zapruder family for use of the Zapruder film in his motion picture JFK (1991).

The Wikipedia page links to a site that has the film as a downloadable JPEG image sequence:
