A performance by Karel Kryl was recorded in 1969 and released from the archives of the public television and radio company NRK almost fifty years later. The recording, which is more than 22 minutes long, was made in Oslo, Norway, at the end of June and beginning of July during Kryl's three-week stay in Scandinavia, where he was invited by the Norwegian Student Union at the instigation of Czechoslovak exiles. Karel Kryl then returned to Czechoslovakia, but at the time of the Norwegian premiere of the program on October 28, 1969, the anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia, he was already living in exile in Munich. The then 25-year-old singer and exceptional poet accompanied his five songs, Salome, Jeřabiny, Bratříčku, zavírej vrátka, Marat ve vaně and Rakovina, with illustrations he drew with chalk on a blackboard in the studio.
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.
