Overview from TheMovieDB

It came as a shock at the peak of her artist career, HSU Su-chen died of cancer. She went cross-disciplinarily in a short 14 years of her creative life. From early work such as “Self-Portrait” revealing multi layers of her own images to “Plant-Paradise” which collaborated with many people of different expertise lead her to the winning of Taishin Bank Arts Annual Award. HSU always walks out of the box to touch all of us from deep inside herself to ordinary plants as well as neglected communities in foreign countries. Every step of her attempts raised applause. This film assembles HSU’s talks and images of exhibitions of different locality spreading world wide including Vietnam, Micronesia, Australia and footages photographed by her personally at many places in Taiwan. It tells an extraordinary story and unseen visions of a distinct artist who endlessly discovers real issues of human life.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
