The project "The Unfinished Time" begins with a ten-part documentary film that tells about the main milestones in the history of Russia during the first post-Soviet decade. There are no authorial texts in the film - it consists entirely of exclusive interviews with over a hundred direct participants in events that took almost ten years to film. The story of the Boris Yeltsin era is told through the eyes of his supporters and opponents: politicians, businessmen, government officials and parliamentarians, journalists, and heads of security and law enforcement, many of whom have been silent in recent years. The 1990s were perhaps the most mythologized time in modern Russian history, which is still being debated constantly. The documentary series "Time That Has Not Passed" gives viewers an opportunity to look at this era through the stereoscope, see it in all its fascinating complexity and understand how it shaped the modern life of the country.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
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.
