This site has a complete new layout by now. Also there’s some more js eye-candy.

www.zurichmasterclass.org

This site recieved som minor updates in layout and is now some kind of green.
Another thing is that their recorded interviews now are available on Youtube (within the Zurich Film Festival Channel).

My area: Adding the new styles, some cleanup. Converting / splitting / initial upload of the videos

The content area was cleaned up, the height of the footer navigation was raised and on the startpage there’s an image bar which contains some shortcuts to actual topics.

Also most of the video media of the Zurich Film Festival moved to Youtube in it’s own channel.

Last but not least: This years entry form is online. So if you are a director and want to participate, feel free to subscribe (or this one if you prefer the german version).

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.
