'The Quay Co-op' tells the story of a well-known building on Sullivans Quay in Cork which is known to many as an acclaimed vegetarian restaurant and organic food shop but whose interiors have charted the social, political, and cultural changes in contemporary Irish society over the past forty years. 'The Quay Co-op' has a fascinating story to tell about the individuals and groups who wanted to see Ireland become a more progressive society in terms of women's rights, LGBTQ rights, and other social justice issues. Through interviews with founding members and other activists, we learn about the early days of the Co-op, what it meant to work co-operatively for change, and how the food business managed not only to survive but thrive. A remarkable change has occurred in Ireland in a relatively short space of time and we discover the pivotal role the Quay Co-op played in that transformation.
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.
