Information with provenance, not isolated data
MovieResort brings together information about works, people, credits, organizations and cinematic events. Our standard is to connect relevant data with its context and provenance, distinguishing documentary information from editorial interpretation.
A profile does not make a fact definitive. Documentation may be incomplete, contain errors or change over time; traceability and the ability to correct information are therefore part of the work.
All third-party references are included
All third-party references are included in the corresponding profiles, articles or resources, within their sources, references or credits sections. These identify the information’s provenance and provide access to the original reference.
What makes a source useful
We prioritize relevant original documentation: work credits, archival documents, communications from event organizers, documented interviews and specialist research. A source must be appropriate to the fact it supports.
References are assessed by their relationship to the event, clarity, date and context, not merely their popularity. Several publications repeating one announcement do not necessarily provide independent confirmation.
Context is also part of the data
- Works and versions: identify the title, edition or cut where it affects running time, credits or other data.
- People and roles: distinguish identities and professional functions without automatically associating people who share a name.
- Titles and territories: retain documented distribution titles without inventing translations or confusing variants in different countries.
- Dates and events: distinguish announcements, confirmations and results, specifying territorial scope where relevant.
- References: retain the source and consultation or verification date when recorded, to understand where information comes from.
Verification, uncertainty and discrepancies
Checks examine the subject’s identity, data consistency and links to recorded evidence. A valid link, an import or an automatic check alone does not amount to absolute certainty or human review.
Unconfirmed information should remain pending or unknown. When sources disagree, the difference should be retained and explained in context rather than turning uncertainty into a categorical claim.
Currency, updates and changes
A consultation date indicates when a reference was obtained or checked; it does not guarantee unchanged content or that every fact on the page was reviewed that day.
The calendar, releases and availability conditions deserve particular attention because they can change. An update must reflect a real modification. Without recent confirmation, information should not be presented as current.
Data, texts and images have different conditions
Documenting a fact does not give permission to reproduce any related text, photograph, poster or video. Visual resources retain their own credits and usage conditions, documented separately.
A reference does not imply sponsorship, cooperation or general permission to reuse the material. Consult the media policy and licensing guide to understand each resource’s credits.
Corrections and documentary contributions
If you find incorrect data, an incomplete reference or a questionable association, use the contact form. Provide the MovieResort URL, the affected fact and a source supporting your proposed alternative.
A report starts a review, not an automatic amendment. The corrections page explains the difference between fixing an error and updating information, and where recorded corrections appear. Do not send credentials or unnecessary personal documents.
