Biography from TheMovieDB

Franz Böhm was born and raised in Gerlingen, northwest of Stuttgart. At 16, he made his first short film, Harmony of Others, about interactions among teenagers from different social backgrounds. In 2017, he created the medium-length, fictionalized documentary Christmas Wishes, depicting the lives of two homeless people in Berlin, for which he lived with the homeless for a while. This project opened the BW Youth Film Prize in 2017 and won several awards.  Böhm's international debut came in 2019 with the short film Good Luck, which premiered at the British Independent Film Festival and won the "Best Cinematography" award.  His feature film debut and international breakthrough occurred in 2021 with the documentary Dear Future Children. This film won the Audience Award at its world premiere at the Max-Ophüls-Prize Film Festival, at the Hot Docs International Film Festival, and at its Swiss premiere at the International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights. The 89-minute documentary, focusing on young international activism through the experiences of three activists from Hong Kong, Uganda, and Chile, was nominated for major international documentary film festivals, including CPH:DOX.  In 2022, Böhm became the youngest director to win both the Audience Award and the Main Prize at the German Documentary Film Awards.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
