Lumiere (stylized as LUMIERE) is an online database of ticket sales
for films released in 27 European territories. Based in Strasbourg,
France, the database was proposed by the Advisory Committee of the
European Audiovisual Observatory (Observatoire européen de
l’audiovisuel) ("Observatory"). In 1996, the Observatory began to
regularly collect data on admissions to films distributed in Europe.
In 1997, it conducted a study and concluded that such a database was
necessary to meet various needs within the European film industry.The
database was created in cooperation with national information sources
and the MEDIA Programme of the European Union. Software was developed
in the summer of 2000 and the Lumiere database was launched on 13
November 2000. The initial database provided details of 6,395 films
produced in 68 countries from years 1996â€"1999.The criteria for the
identification of films in the Lumiere database are: original title,
translation of the title, country of origin, year of production, and
name of director(s).
