A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Subhashish Panigrahi is a documentary filmmaker, researcher and long-time open culture advocate. Apart from leading strategy, programs and communities for international civil society organizations such as Wikimedia, Mozilla and Internet Society, he has produced and directed several documentaries with a primary focus on indigenous and endangered languages over a decade. In 2019 he was awarded the Yoti Digital Identity Fellowship for researching the impact of the Indian biometric ID on marginalized communities. His year-long research resulted in the 2021 documentary "MarginalizedAadhaar" highlighting how access to information in India's Adivasi (indigenous) groups lead to the exclusion of basic public services.

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.
