Titles and trailers
Data provided byWikidataWikipediaWikimedia CommonsYouTube
Titles, their identifiers and rarity signals come from Wikidata (CC0) and Wikipedia pageview statistics (CC0); summaries come from Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0). Trailers play in the embedded YouTube player, are never downloaded or stored, and are never paid for or reserved to card owners. Posters come from the sources listed below; otherwise, CineMasters draws its own.
Trailers play in the embedded YouTube player, free for everyone, whether or not you own the poster.
Every title, saga and filmography page links back to its Wikipedia article.
Awards, nominations and main cast also come from Wikidata (CC0): names only, never portraits.
Real posters
When a poster or a period image is in the public domain or under a free licence, it comes from Wikimedia Commons: its author (when known), its licence and a link to its Commons page are credited on the title page. Every image is checked for its legal status before it’s shown.
Active sources
Only sources whose terms allow CineMasters’ use are active; each is credited the way it asks. Ratings shown on a title page are those published by the sites named, unchanged, and never count toward a poster’s tier.
Titles, identifiers, awards, cast, official websites, trailers and published ratings (Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, IMDb, Letterboxd, as recorded in Wikidata): data under CC0.
How well-known titles are (rarity): Wikipedia pageview statistics, under CC0.
Title summaries: Wikipedia, under CC BY-SA 4.0, with a link to the article.
Period posters in the public domain or under a free licence: author, licence and a link to the file page on the title page. Portraits of directors and creators: freely licensed photos (Wikidata P18), author and licence in the tooltip, removed on request.
French release certificates, age ratings and admissions: Source: CNC, open data under the Licence Ouverte.
Trailers: embedded YouTube player, in English or French to match your language when both exist; IDs come from Wikidata, TheTVDB and sometimes the YouTube Data API (those checked again at least every 30 days).
Official website of the title
Posters and backdrops published by rights holders on the title’s official website: “© rights holder”, linked at their original address, never copied or altered; link to the website on the title page.
Film and series posters, backdrops and trailers: TheTVDB (trailers play in the embedded YouTube player).
Metadata provided by TheTVDB. Please consider adding missing information or subscribing.

“Where to watch”: Streaming Availability API by Movie of the Night.
Current audience of titles (rarity), when enabled: Trakt.
Publisher artwork
When no free image exists, a title’s poster or backdrop may come from one of the sources listed above. These images remain the property of their rights holders (studios, distributors, publishers, poster artists): CineMasters links to them at their original address, whole, without copying or altering them, and every title page credits “© rights holder” and their source with a link. CineMasters isn’t affiliated with any of these services.
A rights holder can request the removal of an image or trailer through the takedown request form (or at the contact address in the terms of use): the title then goes back to the poster drawn by CineMasters.
French data
France release permits, age ratings and French admissions: Source: CNC (Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée), data published on data.gouv.fr under the Licence Ouverte 2.0. CineMasters isn’t affiliated with the CNC.
Trademarks
CineMasters isn’t affiliated with, endorsed or certified by TMDB, YouTube or the Wikimedia Foundation. Titles, director and studio names and the trademarks mentioned belong to their owners.
