Grand Illusion Scrape Fails

Key line in code:

for film in soup.find_all("div", class_="film-teaser"):

No exist with that class any more at https://grandillusioncinema.org .

Grand Illusion Scraping fails on non-theater events

This bug actually crashes the code so it's a high priority fix.

Film that triggered this:

Camille Billops Family Trilogy at LANGSTON

Camille Billops, James Hatch · 1982/1991/2002 · USA
180min · digital
Playing Mar 29
Wednesday, March 29 from 6:00-9:00 PM at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute; $14 general, $10 for Grand Illusion members

Presented by LANGSTON, Black Cinema Collective, SIFF, and Grand Illusion Cinema.

(snip)

Wednesday, Mar 29: 6:00 pm at LANGSTON

The fix will be checking the location info line for "at" and splitting it if needed.

Add PacSci

Fix Movie Title Capitalization

Problem example:

BEGIN:VEVENT
SUMMARY:Museum Of Home Video’S Guide To Celebrity Carnage
DTSTART;TZID=US/Pacific:20230310T220000
DURATION:PT2H
DTSTAMP;TZID=US/Pacific:20230310T082632
UID:45dcaa9249ada5b6
DESCRIPTION:https://thebeacon.film/calendar/movie/museum-of-home-videos-gu
 ide-to-celebrity-carnage
LOCATION:The Beacon: 4405 Rainier Ave S\, Seattle\, WA 98118
URL:https://thebeacon.film/calendar/movie/museum-of-home-videos-guide-to-c
 elebrity-carnage
END:VEVENT

I haven't checked to see if this is a general problem or just one with The Beacon, but it's ugly and it's easy to fix.

Handle pagination of NWFF calendar

Right now I'm just grabbing the first page; there are more.

Seattle bias

The code I wrote really assumes we're in Seattle, although there's enough generic material to make this solvable. But now that I'm working on Dublin it's time to fix that problem. Related to #63.

Grand Illusion Duration Scraping Broken

Current HTML: <div class="film-teaser--format">101 · 35mm</div>

The movie duration used to be contained in a with class = film-length:

                film_duration_raw = film.find("span", class_="film-length").get_text()

Not too hard a fix.

Add New SIFF 2024 Theaters

E.g.: Majestic Bay

Generalize for other cities

Non-exhaustive list of things I'd want to do:

• Make calendar attributes flexible
  • Timezone
  • Calendar name
  • prodid (generate from calendar name?)
  • UID base
• Document how it works

Add Dublin arthouse cinema support

Lighthouse

https://www.lighthousecinema.ie
https://www.lighthousecinema.ie/ajax/films-by-day-home/1

Stella

http://stellacinemas.ie/Rathmines/
https://stellacinemas.ie/ -- looks like all the data is in the initial load

IFI

https://ifi.ie/weekly-schedule
https://ifi.ie/whats-on/ -- doesn't have a breakdown of festivals

Central Cinema Rentals

I think they changed the name they use for theater rentals cause I'm seeing some slipping through.

Support All Day Events

All day events should show up the right way in the calendar -- right now NWFF is the only place I've bumped into this, though. Low priority.

Add Central Cinema

https://www.central-cinema.com/calendar

Add Ark Lodge Cinemas

Add SIFF

https://www.siff.net/year-round-cinema

Handle missing venues gracefully

Every year I have to add venues for SIFF, and the script crashes out until I do. Shouldn't I just gracefully handle unknown addresses? Yes I should.

Fix Locations for Grand Illusion

#32 introduced a new bug when fixing the crash bug around movie durations at the Grand Illusion -- now everything's showing up as off-site.

Improve error messaging

If a scrape fails, it'd be useful to understand if the HTML structure has changed. This probably requires passing back an error message out of fetch_films().

Add Grand Illusion
