Vienna the 1950s and 60s: it was not exactly an easy time for lesbians. The film is about how they lived, how they dressed and the places where they met. The two directors spent five years researching the traces of a forgotten past. Using places to create a common theme, the film builds an imaginary bridge between the Vienna of fifty years ago and the Vienna of today. Through the words of the three elderly women we see an unusual and important example of oral history, which helps us to understand the imposed models of behaviour women of that time had to follow to conceal their sexual orientation: to hint but not to say, to appear without being recognized.
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.
