More then forty years have been gone since the day in which Jole Ruglioni founded in 1972 La Casa dei Bambini – Childrens’ House, one of the first Montessori's school in Milan. For four decades the rooms, the walls, the creaking stairs og the 19th century house have welcomed little guests. Now the house isn't anymore a school it is a private house: walls, rooms have been destroyed, so the stairs too, heart of the school is not anymore there. By the way for a lot of people, pupils and parents the Building of Porpora street will remain the Montessori school of Jole. the film tells about the last months of activity before moving. Among learning, playing, pass, present and future the school daily school life and the founder's memories. It is a personal and intimate journey in the universe of childhood.
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.
