First full-length sound film made by the Acevedo Brothers, it shows the birth and childhood of Enrique Olaya Herrera, born and baptized in Guateque. It also presents the gestation and launching of the presidential candidacy of Eduardo Santos for the years 1938 to 1942. Finally there are all the ceremonies and tributes carried out since the corpse of Enrique Olaya Herrera touches Colombian soil in Buenaventura until his burial in the cemetery of Bogota. (Newspaper "El Tiempo" - Bogotá, May 29, 1937)
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.
