Hanan Hassan Mohamed A’bd Al Kareem was born in Cairo. She studied at the Ballet Institute and while performing in a production of “Macbeth” she was noticed by director Kheiry Bushara who nominated her for a role in the film title “Raghba Muttawahisha” (“Monstrous Desire”). Hanan has performed in several television productions amongst which is “al-Suqoot fee Bir Saba” (“Falling into Bir Saba”), “al-Mal wa al-Banoun” (“Property and Progeny”), “al-Sabr fee al-Mallahat”, “lan A’eesh fee Jalbab Abby” (“I Will not Live in My Father’s Robes”), “Opera A’ydah”, “Ameera fee A’bdin” (“A Princess in A’bdin”), “Nisf Rabee’ al-Aakhar” (“The Middle of Next Spring”). Moreover the actress has also partaken in the cinema production “Fee al-Ou’shq wa al-Saffar” (“Love and Journeying”). Hanan is considered among the most talented performers of her generation and can be seen in her finest form in “al-Mohajjir” (“The Emigrant”), “al-Aakhar” (“The Other”) and “Sahr al-Layaly” (“Staying Up”).
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.
