Sources and acknowledgements
We document the provenance of research and distinguish it from permission to redistribute content.
Curated sources
Research records currently reference Letterboxd, the British Film Institute (BFI) and Rotten Tomatoes editorial pages. Source lists may be sampled or incomplete. These organizations do not endorse FmS.
IMDb identifiers
IMDb title IDs are used for matching and navigation. IMDb has strict conditions for using datasets and republishing its content; this project does not claim an IMDb redistribution license.
Artwork and metadata
Some FmS catalog or web responses may reference third-party movie images, including Cinemeta/Metahub. Authorization for commercial display or linking has not yet been documented and requires operator review. Locally produced FmS graphics do not grant rights to third-party film artwork.
Original selections
The proposed playlists are FmS thematic drafts. Their initial film pool includes earlier research from third-party editorial sources. Human review must assess potential derivation before public clearance.
What is currently published
The public API serves twelve FmS editorial collections, with 67 verified film references and 18 verified series, without original list URLs, source-list ordering or archived research relationships. Archived research files remain within the project and may be visible if its source-code repository is public.
License status
The accompanying compliance audit records unresolved permissions by provider. A passing technical check does not constitute an intellectual-property clearance.
