A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Mario Addis, born in Tempio Pausania, Sardinia, started working in 1984 as an animator in Michel Fuzellier and Giovanni Ferrari’s studio. In 1989, he founded the production studio Gertie together with Franco Serra and started working as a producer and director. He directed several commercials, TV theme songs and video clips (he devised the opening credits of ‘Mostro’ by Roberto Benigni and the first video clip of ‘Voglia Di Gridare’ by Daniele Silvestri, an Italian singer). In 1999, Oreste Del Buono, director of Linus magazine, published his series on the vampire ‘Alef’, which ran for more than a year. As an animator, he works with talented directors, such as Maurizio Nichetti, Dario Fo, Giulio Cingoli, Enzo D’Alò and Roberto Benigni. With his animated works, he takes part in foreign productions, such as ‘The Fever’ by HBO, a film directed by Gabriel Carlo Nero, starring Vanessa Redgrave and Angelina Jolie. He was in charge of the technical direction and supervision of the storyboard and backgrounds, the Lay-Outs and animation, and the colouring and compositing of the 26 episodes of the series ‘Adrian’, by Adriano Celentano, produced by Clan and Mediaset. In 2015, he was awarded an Honorary Degree from the Scuola Nazionale di Cinema. His latest works, which he created and directed, were ‘Robin Hood, raccontato da Veronica Pivetti’ (Robin Hood told by Veronica Pivetti), a one-hour TV movie, co-produced by Rai and Progetto Immagine, and ‘Pene e Cruditè’ (Pain and Crudités), a self-produced, three-minute short film.

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.
