In her documentary, Aysun Bademsoy portrays five young Turkish women from Berlin Kreuzberg who used to be members of the successful Turkish women's soccer team "BSC-Agrispor". Until recently, the friends had high hopes for an independent future based on their sporting success. But now the season is coming to an end and the five young women, all in their 20s, will stop playing soccer. They don't know exactly what they want to do with their lives. Apprenticeships are rare, and without money, independence from the strict parental home is impossible. But now they are enjoying the Berlin summer together once again, wandering the streets, chasing boys, going to parties, "hanging out".
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.
