The Film Industry Data Repository (FIDA) is a lifecycle-wide data infrastructure developed by the CresCine consortium to support evidence-based decision-making in Europe’s film sector, with a particular focus on small and mid-sized markets. FIDA brings together fragmented information from across the film value chain – from production and festival circulation to theatrical exhibition, streaming availability, and television programming – and integrates it into a single, interoperable analytical environment.
Designed for producers, distributors, sales agents, film agencies, and scholars alike, FIDA enables comparative analysis across countries, release windows, and time periods that are rarely visible in commercial analytics services. The repository combines public and open data with licensed industry data, cleaned, harmonised, and linked via a shared internal identifier to allow robust cross-source analysis while respecting licensing constraints.
FIDA integrates data from The Movie Database (TMDB), Wikidata, the World Bank, Lumiere (European Audiovisual Observatory), Cinando, International Showtimes, UsherU, the European Audiovisual Observatory Yearbook, media-press.tv, and curated CresCine festival datasets. Together, these sources cover production metadata, festival selections and awards, admissions and box office, cinema showtimes, streaming availability, television broadcasts, and socio-economic context.
