Independent movie theatres in Paris are great. I don't know the details of how they organize themselves in detail, but I am aware of the association Cinémas Indépendants Parisiens and their website, which I use to find which movies are playing in my area.

Unfortunately, I find the website difficult to navigate and its design not helpful in terms of UX. Most of the time I just want to know which movies are playing in my preferred theatre in the next days. Hence, I created this little project to scrape the movie data and render it into a single html to present the show times in a way that are the most useful to me.

Please note: I have no affiliation Cinémas Indépendants Parisiens. This is just a little personal project.

1. scrapes the website of Cinémas Indépendants Parisiens using Scrapy
2. stores the data in a json file
3. loads the data and renders a single html file using Jinja
4. uploads the html file to an AWS S3 bucket which is configured to serve it as a static website
