Cinando film festival programming dataset

This data set supports the analyses presented in the paper titled <b>Quantifying the global film festival circuit: Networks, diversity, and public value creation</b>, published in PLoS ONE: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0297404. The R code to reproduce the analyses is available at: https://github.com/andreskarjus/cinandofestivals. The data sample is sufficient for the reproduction of results and graphs. The graphs in this paper are also available as an interactive dashboard in an online supplementary, where details behind individual data points can be easily observed: https://andreskarjus.github.io/cinandofestivals.This research has been made possible by data provided directly to authors from the Cannes Film Market (Marché du Film – Festival de Cannes), the company operating the Cinando website and database (https://cinando.com/). Launched in 2003 as the database of the attendees at the Cannes Festival, Cinando has since grown into the premier platform supporting hundreds of film festivals and film markets (industry events held during festivals, mostly oriented to promoting investment opportunities, rights sales, and production services). Cinando offers film professionals tools to navigate the film industry, including information about contacts, films, projects in development, market screening schedules, market attendees, and screeners. The platform services film festivals and markets by facilitating rights sales, investments, and business-to-business video on demand. The platform relies on a large proprietary relational database. The authors received a full database dump via a research partnership with the data owner on 2021-10-08.This data set concerns the part of the Cinando database that registers information about film festival programming and contains, at face value, 77,398 films programmed at 38,367 festival events, resulting in 183,865 film–festival event pairs, between 2007–2022 (<b>festivals_films.csv</b>). The festival metadata includes event and, occasionally, festival series title, event location country, and event year. Film metadata contains runtime, production year, names of crew members (<b>filmrole.csv</b> - only crew role and gender are made available to protect privacy), origin countries (<b>filmcountry.csv</b>), languages spoken in the film (<b>filmlang.csv</b>), and content type tags (<b>filmgen.csv</b>). The latter is a mixture of tags typically used to describe films within the festival context, including genre (e.g. drama, documentary), target audience (children’s, family), identity (Jewish, LGBT), and production type (TV Series, VR). The authors have cleaned and homogenized the data to make it usable and expanded it with festival type and crew gender information. Cinando technical IDs and personal data have been anonymized. The data owner supports the publication of this data set.

本研究依托戛纳电影市场（Marché du Film – Festival de Cannes，运营Cinando网站与数据库的机构）向作者直接提供的数据完成。Cinando于2003年作为戛纳电影节参会者数据库上线，如今已发展为服务数百个电影节与电影市场（电影节期间举办的行业活动，主要聚焦推广投资机会、版权销售与制作服务）的顶级平台。Cinando为电影从业者提供行业导航工具，涵盖联系人、影片、开发中项目、市场放映日程、市场参会者与试映片相关信息。该平台通过助力版权销售、投资与企业对企业视频点播服务支持电影节与市场活动。平台依托大型专有关系型数据库。作者于2021年10月8日通过与数据所有者的研究合作项目获取了完整的数据库导出文件。

本数据集涵盖Cinando数据库中记录电影节节目编排的部分，在2007年至2022年间，共收录38367场电影节活动中放映的77398部影片，总计产生183865条影片-电影节活动关联记录（存储于文件festivals_films.csv）。电影节元数据包含活动（有时含电影节系列）名称、活动举办国与活动年份。影片元数据包含片长、制作年份、剧组人员信息（filmrole.csv——仅公开剧组角色与性别以保护隐私）、影片原产国（filmcountry.csv）、影片使用语言（filmlang.csv）与内容类型标签（filmgen.csv）。后者包含电影节场景下常用的各类标签，涵盖类型（如剧情片、纪录片）、目标受众（儿童片、合家欢）、身份主题（犹太主题、LGBTQ+主题）与制作类型（电视剧集、VR影片）。作者已对数据进行清洗与同质化处理以保障可用性，并补充了电影节类型与剧组性别信息。Cinando技术ID与个人数据均已匿名化处理。数据所有者支持本数据集的公开出版。
