Bia is a young adult studying audiovisual at a university in the interior of São Paulo state. The tones of her life are a mix of boredom, melancholy, and frustration, alongside many questions about the direction she's heading. Working at a souvenir and accessory stand at one of the many solidarity economy fairs held on her university campus, she happens to meet another woman. This woman had a large travel backpack full of buttons and trinkets, souvenirs from the various places she had been, along with a heavy, oversized jacket and a curious gaze that explored the place. Bia didn’t know her name, but when she arrived at Bia’s stand with many questions about belonging, the young vendor wanted to know everything. That’s how their conversation began, as they started discovering one another. This experience takes place on a very reflective night, during which both will learn more about life and existence.
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.
