Valcho Kamarashev was born on 12 September 1937 in Vidin. He graduated in Acting from the National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts in 1959. He worked as an actor at the Drama Theatre in Burgas for three years, then was part of the company of the Drama Theatre in Pernik for two years, and in Russe for another two years. He worked for almost 20 years at the Tear and Laughter Theatre in Sofia and for 15 years at the Bulgarian Army Theatre in the capital city. He has acted in almost 60 films, including Doomed Souls (1975), Villa Zone (1975), All Is Love (1979), The Racket (1982), I, The Countess (1989), and The Lot (1993). In 2000 he won the Best Actor Award of the Union of Bulgarian Actors.
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.
