Jacinto Esteva Grewe (Barcelona, Spain, 1936 - Barcelona, September 9, 1985) was a Spanish film director, founder of the Barcelona School. In 1960 he directed a short film with Paolo Brunatto, Notes sur l'émigration. Espagne 1960. In 1962 he filmed two more short films Around the salt flats and Picasso. He debuted in 1966 with the feature film Lejos de los árboles. The film traces some Spanish traditions related to pain and death and was considered by some critics to be an update of Luis Buñuel's Las Hurdes, tierra sin pan; it was released in 1972. In 1965 he began his activity in the film industry with the foundation of the production company Filmscontacto, the basis of the so-called Barcelona School. In 1967 he co-directed with Joaquín Jordá Dante no es únicamente severo, and closed his filmography in 1968 with Después del diluvio. He co-produced Glauber Rocha's Cabezas cortadas. He collaborated in the production of Cercles, by Ricardo Bofill, and had prepared a script with Rafael Azcona, Ícaro, which was never made. He also acted in Tuset Street.

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.
