FilmsSeriesAt the archive’s paceeach bar is the titles released that decade

The median title about the Late Middle Ages came out in 1994; the median across the rest of the archive, in 2004, so this period’s titles run 10 years earlier. Most over-told: the 1990s, with 4 titles where about 0.7 would be expected. Most under-told: the 2000s, with none where about 2.9 would be expected.

The gold dashes are how many of this period’s 13 titles each decade would hold if they had been released at the same pace as the other 278 dated titles in the archive. That measures the archive’s own collecting, not the world’s film output, and at these sizes one title moves a bar by a whole step.

Historical Threads

A thread follows one event or historical theme across the archive, wherever and whenever it appears. Pick a tab to read one; they are in the order they are filed on the timeline. Pulling a thread opens up a narrowed timeline view filtered to every year that thread touches.

Battle of Agincourtpull it on the timeline

Event

A decisive victory in the Hundred Years' War where a numerically-superior French army was defeated by the forces of King Henry V of England, including, notably, a sizable contingent of French nobility and valuable men-at-arms. France's defeat would majorly change the tempo of the war, tipping it back into England's favor for the following decade.

36 years on the timeline fall inside the boundaries, 10 of them with nothing set there yet. The filled part of each bar is the share carrying this period.

Share of the 39 genre taggings across 13 titles set in this period. A title filed under three genres is in three of these slices, so this is a share of taggings rather than of titles.

Also on the Timeline

Periods overlap freely so concurrent means the two spans share years, and the shared stretch is named. Bounded means it lies wholly inside this one, beginning and ending more than 10 years within its boundaries. Before and after are the nearest periods lying outside this one, with the gap in years shown instead. A shared thread is what the two have in common besides the calendar, and a period lying wholly outside this one can still share one.
