The copyright has different validity for different work. But mainly it is valid for a period of 60 years.

For literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works - 60 years from the year following the death of the author/creator

For cinematographic films, sound recordings and photographs- 60 years from the date of publication

For broadcasting - 25 years from the beginning of the calendar year following the year in which it was first broadcasted
