The Joint European Filmography (JEF), an ACE´s project, is now online. Access to the Internet server is restricted to ACE member institutions.
Computer files supplied by ACE member institutions from fifteen countries during the period of 1993 to 1998 have been analyzed, converted, and processed into a single database. Due to a great variability in the usage of country and language codes, date formats and other formal conventions, this step took slightly longer than anticipated.
The resulting database, hosted by Deutsches Filminstitut - DIF in Frankfurt, comprises 51,895 film entries relating to an estimated number of 40,000 to 45,000 individual films. In order to facilitate the identification of intra-European co-productions appearing under different titles, auxiliary files of director's names and of corporate names such as production companies and contractors have been prepared.
Although the database isn’t yet finished most of the features are implemented. All ACE-members should have a look at the database and make comments and suggestions concerning the usability and the features.
