GCfilms is an application for managing a movie collection. Detailed information on each movie can be automatically retrieved from the Internet and the user can store additional data, such as the location, format or whom he/she has lent them to. The user may also search and filter the collection by criteria such as director, genre, rating and more.

Features

Automatic Retrieval

Information concerning the movie can be automatically retrieved from various Internet websites. Information about movies can also be entered in manually.

Import and Export

GCfilms supports importing collections created by other movie database programs such as Tellico or Ant Movie Catalog. The movies lists can also be exported to various formats including HTML, XML or SQL.

The Mascot

The GCfilms mascot is a blue periscope named Péri. He was created by LE SPEKTRE.

Platforms

GCfilms may be used on any system for which [[GTK+|Gtk2]]-Perl is available. It is included in many Linux distributions (Debian, Fedora Extras, Ubuntu Linux Universe, Mandriva Linux contribs) and also in FreeBSD ports. A version for Microsoft Windows also exists.

License

GCfilms is released under the GNU General Public License. Images associated with the project, for example Péri, are released under a dual license: GNU General Public License (to be used in GCfilms) and Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike License v. 2.5 (to let other designers use it).

Status

GCfilms is no longer under active development. Future versions will only contain bugfixes. New features will be added to GCstar, which is a more general collection manager.
