Il Cinema Ritrovato '24 Spreadsheet Scheduler

After the success of our previous schedulers, we have again created a spreadsheet scheduler for Il Cinema Ritrovato 2024 (38th edition) - the full programme in a spreadsheet with a scheduling tool!

Launched today, 11th June, to give you plenty of time before the festival booking opens tomorrow, you can plan out your screenings and (hopefully!) avoid any stressful clashes - the spreadsheet will calculate whether you can make it to the next screening in time. Where at all possible to know, we've allowed for introductions in our timings - so if Napoleon's runtime seems even longer than you thought, that's why.

We are unaffiliated with the festival and this is an entirely independent endeavour. If you love the scheduler please:

• Share this post and tag us on Twitter @rep_cinema

• Ask the festival coordinators to make this a permanent fixture or get in touch if you'd like to collaborate

• Consider supporting us through our Ko-fi page

Please share this blogpost rather than the sheet directly, so that your friends have access to the instructions below. Above all else, have a splendid festival!

Many thanks to Mosa Mpetha and Elliot Newton for helping to check for errors.

To setup your scheduler:

1. Click ‘File’ and ‘Make a Copy’

2. To add a film to ‘My Schedule': from the Ritrovato 2024 tab tick/check the ‘Add’ box ✅ (in column K) and the film will automatically appear after a brief moment.

3. If you find you have a clash on ‘My Schedule’, or have changed your mind, check the ‘Leftovers’ ✅ box and it will go to the ‘Leftovers’ sheet. You can also delete the entire row if you need to.
   

Spreadsheet rules:

• Don't change the name of the tabs

• Don't tick films in very quick succession, or the script might not catch everything (we know it's exciting!)

• The very first time you add a film, the script may take a few seconds to work
  

Tabs in the sheet:

• Ritrovato 2024 - full film schedule

• My Schedule - contains optional columns for:

  • Booked

  • Ticket # - In previous years, the ticketing emails don't have the film title in the email subject, so you can make a note of it here if it helps

  • Seat

• Live music screenings

• On film screenings

• Leftovers (the ones that got away)
  

Why spreadsheets when there's a programme? Spreadsheets allow for visually clear and filterable data and can be duplicated easily so the user can keep or edit their own version - this is useful to most people, but especially those that use screen readers, have visual processing disorders or ADHD.
