CSFd

CSFd is an online database focusing on Czech and Slovak cinema and television. Known in full as the Czech-Slovak Film Database, it is a community-driven resource that combines a large catalog of titles with user-generated content such as ratings, reviews, and discussions. The site serves as a reference for fans, critics, and industry professionals seeking information on film and television work from the region as well as notable international titles that have crossed into Czech and Slovak markets.

Content and features on CSFd include film and show pages with metadata such as title, year, country, genre, cast and crew, and release information. Users can contribute by rating titles, writing reviews, and creating or following lists of favorites. The platform also provides actor and director filmographies, article-style entries, and search tools to explore connections between works. Ratings and reviews are presented to reflect community opinions, making the site a popular place for casual recommendations and in-depth discussion alike.

History and scope establish CSFd as a prominent resource in Central Europe. The project originated in the early 2000s as a community-driven database and grew to become one of the region’s most visited film databases. Over time it expanded to include broader coverage, including international co-productions and television series, while maintaining a strong emphasis on Czech and Slovak content.

Reception and governance on CSFd reflect its community-based model. While valued for its breadth and local focus, the database faces typical challenges of user-edited platforms, including variability in data quality and concerns about moderation and bias. The site relies on volunteer contributions and community moderation to sustain its content and discussions.
