A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Release Date:
January 23, 2020
Original Title:
G/D THYSELF: Spirit Strategy On Raising Free Black Children
Production Countries:
United States of America
Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 360
This ritual space extrapolates meditations on raising free Black children from the aforementioned film. The space draws on inspiration from many cultural traditions and over the course of its five months' tenure, the collective will invite guest performers and practitioners to practise and teach the 'spirit strategies' within the space and will programme a series of activations designed to guide the community in maximising the space's use. Mediums will include but are not limited to ritual performance, sculpture and video installations.
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.
