A portrait of Flemming Quist Møller's life, both as the man, the musician and the artist. Throughout the narrative, we encounter his work with film, music, theater, plays, satire drawings, book illustrations, paintings, screenwriting; we experience that he, as a communicator and narrator, is always on the side of the weak, working with the simple, straightforward and human. We experience his personal story from the childhood home, the travels, the paralysis as a young person, the ornithologist, glænø life, the anti-authoritarian, family life and how the ups and downs of his career have affected his life. The film contains clips from his various works, especially the cartoons he is best known for in Denmark; among others .. The bicycle mosquito Egon, the jungle animal Hugo and Benny's Bathtub.
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.
