A documentary detective story in which the authors follow in the footsteps of Czech xenophobia. In Tanvald there is a parking space and a supermarket on the square. Winter is colder than in the rest of the republic. The year 2012 began here with misfortune. An hour and a half after midnight, a Tanvald senior shot dead a 22-year-old junior. Was it a necessary defense? Were it not for the young man being a Roma and the shooter Gajo, the passions would not have been aroused. In addition, everything took place in the city of closed textiles, extreme unemployment and low tolerance. Filming began a few days after the unfortunate shooting. It turned out that the parents of the deceased Ladislav live in sight of the man who shot. How to make a film about misfortune so that it is not hopeless?
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.
