The title of eobchae’s film AMAEBCH is a combination of acronyms reflecting the collective’s latest interests in Web 3 - ‘AMA’ as the abbreviation of ‘Ask me anything’ from social media culture and ‘EBCH’ as a cryptocurrency symbol for ‘Eobchaecoin’. The protagonist of AMAEBCH is ‘Bisamuncheon’, a king of the afterlife from The Tale of Seol Gongchan, a novel from medieval Korea. In AMAEBCH, Bisamuncheon manifests itself as an executive of ‘Eobchaecoin(altcoin created by eobchae)’ via scattered body graphics generated from LiDAR sensor, answering the questions created from GPT-3. The questioners of AMA are the sentient beings who are eager to know the destiny of Eobchaecoin. By introducing a supreme existence to bridge the three recent artworks from 2020 to 2022 in the film, eobchae shares a possible world where the fictional entities based on very different periods can exist together.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
