Rewind is a cinematic artifact. The cinema invites us to suspend our criteria of credibility and makes us believe that mice speak, a man in a cape flies with just stretching out an arm and that in life it is enough to wish something very much for it to happen. Even if we know that it is not true, seeing it before our eyes gives us an imagination to be able to think about it, desire it or recognize it if one day we see it. Rewind's proposal escapes the physical laws and shows a reverse direction time, a rewind. Because, the way things are in the world, we can't think of another fairly credible way to give a happy ending to a horrifying and real situation, that of the stoned women. We propose to see it in order to imagine it, to imagine it in order to desire it, to desire it in order to do something about it.
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.
