This site is operated by the Forum on Open Access to Government Records. We will present various analysis of the Zapruder Film and Frames as we work towards publishing a book and turn this site into a paid membership site. Our work features the most up to date and technologically advanced studies of the Zapruder Film. Prior to finishing our work, we need permission from the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas to publish all of the remaining frames of the Zapruder Film.
We will be publishing articles, studies, and films demonstrating that:
- The existing Zapruder film was not taken by Abraham Zapruder;
- The film is a composite that did not originate in a camera;
- The copyright in the Zapruder film should be declared invalid
We will go frame by frame to review the countless irregularities in the film and its shady provenance.
April 14, 2025: We are all Alterationists Now, Alexandra
March 1, 2025: we just added an analysis of the shift in black tones around frames 131-134 during the “first splice.”
March 2, 2025: Black Patch Analysis using 6K scans of 317, 321, and 323.
Other updates: Damaged Frames 154, 157, 207, and 212. Early Frames 1 and 2.
We are trying to obtain copies of the Zapruder Frames in the National Archives, but the National Archives and the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas assert that there is a copyright that blocks FOIA requests. This is a strange policy since making copies of the Zapruder Frames for writing a book was held to be entitled to fair use in 1968. Why is there so much secrecy to photos that are 60 years old? Why does the Sixth Floor Museum claim there is a copyright when the court ruled that publishing Zapruder Frames was fair use in 1968?
