cineMINDS

cineMINDS aims to create an interactive audiovisual archive of cinematic knowledge collected through on-camera interviews and workshops with film practitioners. The filmed material will be searchable by keywords and thematic fields using a custom-built web interface. The search results are enhanced with visual overlays of accompanying materials: excerpts from the films to which the interviewees refer, in-depth information on related film technology and references to existing specialist literature. Complex knowledge references thus become efficiently and intuitively explorable and provide new methods and perspectives for film education, film scholarship and the digital humanities. cineMINDS is a joint research effort between the Zurich University of the Arts, the University of Zurich and CILECT.
