A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Blackburn, Lancashire, England, UK
Ronan Mackenzie is an artist filmmaker and animator from Blackburn, Lancashire. Mackenzie’s work explores very personal narratives that combine his dreams, nightmares, lures, fears, and experiences to thematically investigate identity, familial relationships, memory and its eventual disintegration, existentialism, mortality, and the anthropogenic. Akin to a painting that moves, he combines multiple layers of moving and still images to create depth and texture to frames and sequences. In this process, new images, new sounds, and new ideas are formed to create connections. However, these connections might associate with the image and the sound, at times, connected and other times completely disjointed. His work has been broadcast on BBC iPlayer and BBC Four as well as screening and receiving nominations at BAFTA and OSCAR qualifying festivals. Some of these include: Encounters Film Festival, Aesthetica Film Festival, Athens Film + Video Gestival, Bolton Film Festival, Push festival (HOME, Manchester).

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.
