A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Since 2003, filmmaker Bruno Jorge has made very independently over 20 films of different genres, including short/medium/feature-length, influenced by visual arts, experimental cinema and etnography. Among the various shortfilms we could mention "Setback" (best film at Festival do Rio, Lab Competition Clermont-Ferrand), Justiça ao Insulto (Cannes, Rotterdam), "November, December" (IDFA) , "Catuçaba", "Moins que demain" and "Barões" (all 3 premiered in Visions du Réel). In 2013 the French Cinematheque honored Bruno with a retrospective of his shortfilm work. Some feature-length documentaries are "What I could be if I were" (best film at ABD, Semana dos Realizadores), "Piripkura" (Human Rights prize at IDFA, best film at Festival do Rio/Docville/Cartagena among others) and the newest movie "The invention of the Other", premiered at Festival de Cinema de Brasília 2022 (best film by official jury).

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.
