Interview with Canadian dancer-choreographer William Douglas, who discusses his struggle to come to terms with AIDS, and his awareness of the disease's potential effects upon his life and art. Speaking from Montréal and his family's vacation home in Nova Scotia, he looks back upon his work as a choreographer, noting the impact Merce Cunningham's choreography has had upon him, and tracing the development of his own style. He talks about his love of dancing and teaching dance, and how this love has helped him transcend his fears for the future. His partner José Navas also contributes to the discussion. Excerpts from Douglas's works Anima, we WEre WARned, and Thorn are intercut with the interview.
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.
