About WebSooty

A small archive with a simple idea: good open films deserve a good home.

What this is

WebSooty is an independent, non-commercial archive of openly licensed films. We host a handful of short films that their creators released under Creative Commons, so that anyone can watch them in a browser, download them, and reuse them with credit.

What we care about

  • Licenses first. A film goes online only after we have confirmed its license at the original project site.
  • Credit always. Every film page carries the creators' credit line and a link back to the source.
  • Respect for the viewer. No ads, no trackers, no accounts, no pop-ups.
  • Plain technology. Static pages and plain MP4 files that work on almost any device.

What it is not

We are not the creators of these films and we are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Blender Foundation or any of the studios named on the site. All trademarks belong to their owners.

Principles

How we choose films

Open license

Clear, permissive terms that allow sharing and reuse.

Verified source

We read the terms on the creators' own site, not on a reposter's.

Worth your time

Short, well-made films that hold up on a second watch.
