In this film the last living witnesses of the events from Second World War are telling their stories and thus transferring silenced victim’s voices to present times.
A unique film monument which carries collective experience of suffering in the World War II, in the concentration camps on territory of the Independent State of Croatia. Edited from over 450 hours of recorded testimonies, collected over four years of conversations with 94 witnesses, this film is an excerpt from great documentary archive. Story without narrators, historians and archive footage, completely immersed in the pure immediacy of live testimonies, bringing faded voices of the victims to our time. Giving the victims a right to interpret their own suffering, film represents farewell to a whole generation, becoming film monument built by our generation.
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.
