Biography from TheMovieDB

At fourteen, with his twin sister Marianna Fontana, he toured America and sang in theaters in Chicago and Atlantic City. At the age of sixteen he obtained a scholarship, again with his sister Marianna, to attend the "La Ribalta" film school in Naples.  She played the role of Viola in Edoardo De Angelis' 2016 film Indivisible, while her twin sister Marianna, in the same film, was Daisy. The Indivisible film was presented in 2016, during the "Days of Authors", at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival, then at the Toronto International Film Festival, in the "Contemporary World Cinema" section and at the BFI London Film Festival.  Enrolled in Philosophy at the Federico II University, Angela Fontana continues her studies at the Naples Conservatory.  The career of the twin sisters stood out in 2017: Angela starred in the drama Likemeback, directed by Leonardo Guerra Seràgnoli and presented in August 2018 at the Locarno Festival. She also played the part of the protagonist in the film Lucania by Gigi Roccati and also in the film for Rai Two soldiers, by Marco Tullio Giordana, which aired in December 2018. In 2019 she interpreted the character of Cecilia Gallerani in the film Io, Leonardo for directed by Jesus Garces Lambert; alongside Luca Argentero.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
