A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Tommaso is a researcher in anthropology and a freelance photographer and filmmaker. He graduated in Economics at Bocconi University in Milan, but later on he received an MA in Anthropology and Development at the London School of Economics and an MRes in Visual Anthropology at Goldsmiths College, London. He spent many years traveling and working in South East Asia & South America. Postcards From India was his first feature length documentary, following the release of the short "Akil – Awareness" in 2014; which was realized in collaboration with the anthropologist Dr. Michael P. Hoffman (Max Planck Institute) to portray the resurgence of the bonded labours “Kamayia” in Nepal. He has exploited visual media and performance as tools to explore and describe a variety of human behavior and cultures, with a peculiar interest in human and social (self) development.

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.
