New source module for BFI festival screenings (BFI Flare for this iteration). Fetches the festival A-Z listing page with Playwright, extracts per-film articleContext.searchResults to get performances, and matches venues against cinemas via venueMatchesCinema. - retrieve.js: Playwright fetch of A-Z page, deduplicates by article_id, extracts HTML + articleContext.searchResults from each film page - find-events.js: Parses film info for overview, Access screenings section for per-performance accessibility flags, and searchResults for date/venue/booking URL; matches against cinema via venueMatchesCinema - Tests wired up with isRecording=true pending first recording run https://claude.ai/code/session_01GMhmjDMEe9PYJz1tg3mPXH
