# Kinora

> A field guide to film. Find films by where and when they take place — real-world setting, environment type, story era, and season.

Kinora is a catalogue of 399 films, each LLM-tagged and human-verified for where and when its story is set. Unlike databases organised by genre or release date, Kinora indexes the *world of the film*: its real-world settings (185 distinct places), story eras, environment types (10), seasons, and premises (18), across 213 directors. Tags are derived from each film’s plot and verified by hand.
