About VIAN WebApp

The VIAN WebApp vian.app has been developed by Gaudenz Halter and Silas Weber in the framework of the ERC Advanced Grant FilmColors research project at the University of Zurich, by principal investigator Barbara Flueckiger, professor at the Department of Film Studies, University of Zurich in collaboration with the Visualization and MultiMedia Lab of Renato Pajarola Department of Informatics, University of Zurich, with his team Rafael Ballester-Ripoll and Enrique Paredes. The VIAN WebApp is based on the software VIAN (visual video annotation and analysis), which was also developed by Gaudenz Halter in the framework of the ERC Advanced Grant FilmColors research project.

All the tools and software are linked to the interactive digital humanities platform Timeline of Historical Film Colors and were developed based on insights gathered by the FilmColors research team based on a detailed computer-assisted analysis of more than 400 films from 1895–1995.
