Cinema Mode
A programmer's cultural atlas.
Venue, city, a programme of films. Curation rather than a poster wall. Geography only when coordinates actually exist.

House notes
The desk
Programme
Titles and years. IMDb IDs help resolve films precisely, but are optional: Qloo title/year search is verified by the backend, and ambiguous matches are reported rather than guessed. Notes stay with your own record; photography here is atmospheric — not official artwork.
Programme · contact sheet
The programme as a strip, not a store.
Images are atmospheric references. They are not posters, stills, or rights-cleared artwork for the titles listed.
No titles entered yet. The contact sheet appears once the programme has entries.
Cultural field
Returned worlds
Requires completed analysis
No cultural field yet.
Ranked cohorts, rejected worlds and geographic evidence appear only after a completed run. Empty is not a graph.
Opportunity · programming direction
Requires completed analysis
No programming direction yet.
The proposed direction is an interpretation written over ranked cohorts. Without a run there is nothing to interpret.
Challenge · necessity and stability
Two questions asked of the recommendation above, answered from this run’s own cached evidence. No extra Qloo calls, and no forecast of what an audience will do.
Requires completed analysis
Nothing to challenge yet.
The challenge compares the recommendation against counterfactuals computed from the same evidence. Without a completed run there is no recommendation to test.
Test · cinema test card
A bounded test of a cultural adjacency. Not a new identity for the cinema.
Requires completed analysis
No Test Card yet.
The cinema Test Card is drafted from the programming direction and stays editable before it is exported. Export remains unavailable until a completed run returns one.
