Description: Karel Dibbets explores the theaters, the people, the companies, and the visitors of Dutch cinemas from 1896 to the present. Large list of cinemas with opening dates, some with architect.
Film in the Netherlands from 1896 an encyclopedia of film culture , reporting on the world of early and silent cinema: “What is the finest film reference source on the Web, for all film let alone silent film? With all due respect to the Internet Movie Database, I think it is Cinema Context, a Dutch site created by Karel Dibbets and the University of Amsterdam. Describing itself as “an encylopedia of film culture”, the site documents film distribution and exhibition in the Netherlands in 1896. It does so through four data collections, on films, cinemas, people and companies, derived from painstakingly researched data on nearly all films exhibited in Dutch cinemas before 1960. The research team located film programmes from 1896 onwards in each of the major Dutch cities, entering all film titles, names, dates, cinemas etc, and then ingeniously matched this data to the records of these films on the IMDb.
