The dataset holds data on the cinema-concert program of the Belgian movie theatre Cinema Zoologie. The cinema opened in October 1915, in then German-occupied Antwerp, and remained open continuously until May 1936. It was owned and operated by the Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp and located at the premises of the Antwerp Zoological Garden (Statieplein 1, Antwerp). The venue seated 2100 to 2400 people. The mixed program consisted of films and classical musical pieces.

In case of co-productions, multiple countries are separated by a slash (e.g. D / F for Germany / France).
The dataset consists of 5469 individual records (films or music pieces), forming 898 cinema-concert programs. Each record (= each line) in the dataset corresponds to one program element from a Cinema Zoologie program. This can be a film showing, a musical performance, or a theatrical number. (Many of the dataset’s fields are specific to film showings, and hence are left empty in the case of musical or theatrical performances.)
Each record has the following fields. When a field is left empty, this means that the information was not available to the researchers.
Number: \tFixed record number
Type: \tThe type of program element (F for film, M for musical performance, T for theatrical performance)
Original title: \tThe title of the film (or musical composition, or theatre show) in its original language
Dutch title: \tThe Dutch title which was used for presenting the film in the Cinema Zoologie program
French title: \tThe French title which was used for presenting the film in the Cinema Zoologie program
IMDb identifier:\tThe URL that identifies this particular film at the Internet Movie Database (IMDb)
Director:\tThe director(s) of the film. When more than one director was involved, the names are separated by semicolons (e.g. Max Obal; Rudolf Walther-Fein).
Year:\tThe year when the film was originally released
Country:\tThe country (or countries) where the film was produced. (A list of countries may be found below under \"Abbreviations\".) In case of co-productions, multiple countries are separated by a slash (e.g. D / F for Germany / France).
Producer:\tThe company which produced the film
Program identifier:The archival record number of the program booklet where the information for this record was found
Start date: \tThe date of the first screening (or performance), using the format dd-mm-yyyy
End date: \tThe date of the last screening (or performance), using the format dd-mm-yyyy
Description:\tAdditional information (in French or Dutch) about the film, given in the program booklet
The dataset is stored in the tab-separated values (TSV) format. This was chosen as an alternative to the common comma-separated values (CSV) format, which often causes difficulties because of the need to avoid commas. The text encoding of the TSV file is UTF-8.

DANS added a .csv version of the data file and has added a copy of the above remarks to the dataset in a file titled 'remarks.txt'.

This collection of weekly programs forms the archival backbone of the database. They are part of the company archive of the Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp now held by the Antwerp City Archive (FelixArchief, numbers 1968#1 to 1968#1007). The first issue was published in the first week of February 1916, some three and a half months after the opening of the theatre. For the first three and a half months, the programming data in the dataset are based on two hand-written booklets (FelixArchief, 1#1363-1#1364). Between June 1921 and June 1925 (not coincidentally a period of financial hardship for Cinema Zoologie), the program was no longer published as a separate publication, but as a double page insert in the Belgian French-language movie magazine Ciné-Revue; in its Dutch-language sister magazine De Cinema (later published under the title Film-Revue); and/or in the Dutch language movie magazine Cinemawereld. Between July 1925 and June 1930 the weekly programs were no longer published separately but were only listed in the film section of the local newspaper Het Handelsblad van Antwerpen and or the film magazine Weekblad Cinema. As of September 1930 the program was again published as a separate publication. For the 1930s sporadic gaps in the collection are filled with data published in Het Handelsblad or Weekblad Cinema."]}]},"dansRights":{"displayName":"Rights Metadata","name":"dansRights","fields":[{"typeName":"dansRightsHolder","multiple":true,"typeClass":"primitive","value":["KMDA (Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde Antwerpen, Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp)"]},{"typeName":"dansPersonalDataPresent","multiple":false,"typeClass":"controlledVocabulary","value":"Unknown"},{"typeName":"dansMetadataLanguage","multiple":true,"typeClass":"controlledVocabulary","value":["English"]}]},"dansRelationMetadata":{"displayName":"Relation Metadata","name":"dansRelationMetadata","fields":[{"typeName":"dansAudience","multiple":true,"typeClass":"primitive","value":["https://www.narcis.nl/classification/D35100"],"expandedvalue":[{"@id":"https://www.narcis.nl/classification/D35100","termName":[{"lang":"nl","value":"Kunstgeschiedenis en architectuurgeschiedenis"},{"lang":"en","value":"History of arts and architecture"}],"vocabularyUri":"https://www.narcis.nl/classification/"}]}]},"dansTemporalSpatial":{"displayName":"Temporal and Spatial Coverage","name":"dansTemporalSpatial","fields":[{"typeName":"dansTemporalCoverage","multiple":true,"typeClass":"primitive","value":["1915–1936"]},{"typeName":"dansSpatialCoverageText","multiple":true,"typeClass":"primitive","value":["Antwerp, Belgium"]}]},"dansDataVaultMetadata":{"displayName":"Data Vault Metadata","name":"dansDataVaultMetadata","fields":[{"typeName":"dansDataversePid","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"doi:10.17026/dans-x4q-jv9z"},{"typeName":"dansDataversePidVersion","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"1.0"},{"typeName":"dansBagId","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"urn:uuid:bb4bc9a8-89ad-49b6-b5ab-6ae340748356"},{"typeName":"dansNbn","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"urn:nbn:nl:ui:13-gn-oizd"}]}},"files":[{"description":"","label":"dataset.csv","restricted":false,"version":1,"datasetVersionId":2401,"dataFile":{"id":10484,"persistentId":"","filename":"dataset.csv","contentType":"text/csv","friendlyType":"Comma Separated Values","filesize":818412,"description":"","storageIdentifier":"surf://store:186df6aeb83-9545a43d57d4","rootDataFileId":-1,"checksum":{"type":"SHA-1","value":"e8d9457bc73ced29700fa87eb087ebc586586ffa"},"tabularData":false,"creationDate":"2023-03-14","publicationDate":"2018-06-30","lastUpdateTime":"2023-03-14T09:19:34Z","fileAccessRequest":true}},{"description":"","label":"dataset.tsv","restricted":false,"version":1,"datasetVersionId":2401,"dataFile":{"id":10483,"persistentId":"","filename":"dataset.tsv","contentType":"text/tsv","friendlyType":"Tab-Separated Values","filesize":812801,"description":"","storageIdentifier":"surf://store:186df6aea6d-fa0fa4f32ef9","rootDataFileId":-1,"checksum":{"type":"SHA-1","value":"d13ee5e553fd9eff3616cd1b49cc4062f25aa600"},"tabularData":false,"creationDate":"2023-03-14","publicationDate":"2018-06-30","lastUpdateTime":"2023-03-14T09:19:34Z","fileAccessRequest":true}},{"description":"","label":"easy-migration.zip","restricted":false,"version":1,"datasetVersionId":2401,"dataFile":{"id":10481,"persistentId":"","filename":"easy-migration.zip","contentType":"application/zip","friendlyType":"ZIP Archive","filesize":29606,"description":"","storageIdentifier":"surf://store:186df6ae8a0-376d9da8a5be","rootDataFileId":-1,"checksum":{"type":"SHA-1","value":"bd0f655058df68bc3ca3b7ff7a4119591eab33c6"},"tabularData":false,"creationDate":"2023-03-14","publicationDate":"2018-06-30","lastUpdateTime":"2023-03-14T09:19:34Z","fileAccessRequest":true}},{"description":"","label":"remarks.txt","restricted":false,"version":1,"datasetVersionId":2401,"dataFile":{"id":10482,"persistentId":"","filename":"remarks.txt","contentType":"text/plain","friendlyType":"Plain Text","filesize":2278,"description":"","storageIdentifier":"surf://store:186df6ae97b-21001472b155","rootDataFileId":-1,"checksum":{"type":"SHA-1","value":"39220210eb76c61b658998f392ad6a80e6eda297"},"tabularData":false,"creationDate":"2023-03-14","publicationDate":"2018-06-30","lastUpdateTime":"2023-03-14T09:19:34Z","fileAccessRequest":true}}]}}}
