The video is a collection of fragments and snippets that switch like TV channels. Wide access to cable and satellite television contributed greatly to this phenomenon (the “Viva generation”). Most of the content is found footage from low quality amateur videos (recorded using early digital cameras and mobile phones), as well as from some of the first TV programs on clubbing. The party goers shown in the video are dancing at Łódź’s Love Parade, on a Polish platform at the Love Parade in Berlin, at a Hardbass hooligan event in Łódź, as well as in various urban and rural clubs. For some techno was boiling with aggression and stupidity, for others it was a form of collective fun and self-expression.
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.
