Program information of the Zurich Film Festival. The application contains an secured administrative interface to manage the movie data like screenings an participating persons. Also there’s the frontend presentation for the visitors of the festival including pictures, trailers, screenings and so on.

The whole application is coded in Ruby on Rails. The administrative interface makes massive use of the plugin active_scaffold which allows to develop administrative interfaces in a very rapid way. The frontend presentation is coded the standard Rails way. During the first builds it made heavy use of AJAX, this behaviour was changed to get a basic SEO.

Previously the movie database was realized as a PHP application, unfortenately this app wasn’t very configurable so that a complete rewrite was inevitable.
