A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
While experimenting with both analog and digital technology, Emma Roufs is a quebecois/canadian filmmaker who’s particularly interested in film-journal aesthetics and themes related to memory. Her films have shown in various festivals and cinema spaces around the world, and are distributed by Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Center, Winnipeg Film Group, Groupe Intervention Vidéo and Vidéographe. Her first essay documentary ATALAYA (2021) won awards at Cinema on the Bayou film festival (USA) and at Vues du Québec - Festival de cinéma de Florac (France). Emma is a member and administrator of VISIONS, and a co-founder and curator at la lumière collective, dedicated to screening and shining a light onto experimental film practices and their makers. Her master in cinema explores the Gift Theory and Jonas Mekas' cinema and his artistic community in the 60-70s.

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.
