The database provides information about 12 000 films, what are divided into nine main categories and plenty of sub-categories, in addition the feature films are classified also by genres.
Each film has its own entry-page - either a full entry or a partial entry, the reason for that is is whether the thorough reasearch of this film has been already done or not.
In order to refine your seach you could use different filters, (by alphabet, production year slider, film category and film genre), more that one filter might be used at the same time. The searching results are by default shown in Detail view (year of production, category, genre, director, synopsis) or by request in more condenced List view without the synopsises.
Entries might also be classified by the options whether the films could be viewed in our database or obtained or rented using other platforms and options. .
