every shelf
16 angles · 32 themes · 112 directors
Angles are shelves built as a query over the catalogue rather than a tag on a film, so they grow on their own as films are added. Themes are the canonical vocabulary every film is tagged against. Directors are grouped by the tradition they work in, not by nationality.
