See w:Copyright Duration Directive#Films and photographs. It is not enough that the director has been dead for at least 70 years. You must also wait until several others have been dead for that duration. The last person to die seems to have been w:Giuseppe Becce, who composed the music.

 Oppose as the uploader. Caligari it's a silent film (no synchronized soundtrack), so the music score doesn't apply in this specific case. --Mayimbú (talk) 03:53, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep The composer is not relevant for a silent film. For a frame of the film (which this appears to be), the cinematographer would be the relevant person in German law (for details see Pajz's comment in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Greta-Garbo-and-Jaro-Furth-in-the-film-Joyless-Street-1925-142462321702.jpg). The cinematographer of this film was Willy Hameister (1899–1938). --Rosenzweig τ 18:37, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
