Svetlana Novak (born in 1952 in the former Yugoslavia) is a Paris-based film producer. Her credits include the films Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children, and Amélie. She has an extensive working relationship with the Serbian director Emir Kusturica having worked on Black Cat, White Cat, Underground, and Arizona Dream. Novak served two years as the producer for the Rentrée du Cinéma project, an initiative to make cinema more accessible to audiences by drastically reducing ticket prices. She is now part of the international Cities of Love project. Along with Gilles Caussade, she is leading the production team for the Marseille, je t'aime edition of the film. Cities of Love is a series of motion pictures illustrating the universality of love in major cities around the world. Each episode is a collective feature film comprising no fewer than 10 segments created by separate directors. Three such pictures have already been completed: Paris, je t'aime in 2006, New York, I Love You in 2009, and "Rio, Eu Te Amo" "Rio, I Love You" in 2014. Episodes are planned for Shanghai, Jerusalem, Venice, Delhi, Marseille, Berlin and New Orleans. Source: Article "Svetlana Novak" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.

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.
