Fenar Ahmad came to Denmark in 1986 as an Iraqi refugee. At the alternative Danish film school Super16, he directed the short film "Megaheavy," which was selected for the Berlinale and screened at a large number of festivals. The film was honoured with a Danish Robert award for best short fiction. He graduated from Super16 in 2010. In 2014, Ahmad's debut feature film, "Flow," premiered at CPH PIX and screened at London Film Festival. The revenge drama "Darkland" marked his second feature. Since then, he has directed the live action adaptation of the Danish comic series "Valhalla" and a sequel to "Darkland." Ahmad has also directed a few documentary films and music videos.

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.
