Madrid Cine Radar Madrid Cine Radar is a mock-first /app surface that turns Madrid film culture
Madrid Cine Radar is a mock-first /app surface that turns Madrid film culture
listings into attendance decisions. It does not sell tickets, scrape live pages,
or claim real-time availability. It explains language, subtitle, duration,
price, access, venue, and fallback rules before sending users to official
sources.

Pain point v0.1 treatment Listings are scattered across Cineteca, Madrid Destino, Filmoteca, Reina Sofia, Goethe, La Casa Encendida, esmadrid, RA, Ticketmaster, and festival sites. Static mock source cards model a future source strategy. Users need language and subtitle decisions more than titles. Event schema carries original languages, subtitle languages, label, English-friendly score, and Spanish-light score. Free events still require reservations or museum admission. Ticket status distinguishes free-with-ticket and free-with-museum-admission. Sold-out or accessibility-only states need humane fallback guidance. Event cards include fallbackAdvice, accessNotes, and ticket status badges. Very long screenings need day planning. durationMinutes, longAndSerious, intermission, and late-entry fields are visible.Venue identity is confusing. Venue cards explain Cineteca, Cine Dore, Reina Sofia, Goethe, La Casa Encendida, ECAM, Matadero, Sala Equis, and commercial VO cinemas.

packages/apps/user-apps/src/apps/madrid-cine-radar/data.ts and are typed in

Source v0.1 posture Future connector path Madrid Open Data Planned connector card. Ingest official event records, then editorially enrich missing language and ticket fields. esmadrid Manual watch. Use as broad city discovery, not final ticket truth. Cineteca / Madrid Destino High priority. Parse programs, tickets, venue rules, and festival pages. Filmoteca / Cine Dore Manual review. Normalize low-cost archive ticketing and subtitle details. Reina Sofia Manual review. Separate event-free, museum-admission, capacity, and language rules. Goethe-Institut Manual review. Normalize cultural institute programming and RSVP rules. La Casa Encendida Manual review. Normalize hybrid film/talk/workshop programming and reservation requirements.
Reason Implication Official pages are the source of truth. The app should deep-link out instead of collecting money or managing seats. Ticket status changes quickly. v0.1 displays lastCheckedAt and does not claim live status. Accessibility inventory must be respected. Wheelchair-only status is treated as an access warning, not normal availability. Cultural centers use different entry rules. The product value is explanation and routing before transaction.
v0.1 is mock + editorial + UI-first.
No real ticketing, payment, auth, scraping, or venue account management exists.
Official ticket pages and venue policies are always the source of truth.
Live translation with phones or earbuds should be framed as a light aid, not a
reliable or etiquette-safe cinema plan.
Streaming availability is unknown unless a future connector verifies it.

Weekly correction Refresh sold-out status, language/subtitle fields, museum admission, free-ticket rules, and stale links.
