Alejandra Gollas, a bilingual actress, was the recipient of an Ariel Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress (the Mexican equivalent of an Academy Award) for her role in Efectos Secundarios (Side Effects), the first Warner Brothers' premium feature produced and filmed entirely in Mexico. She began her career as a child actress on the Mexican stage, coming to prominence at age 11 for her acclaimed portrayal of Helen Keller in "The Miracle Worker." She went on to become a national phenomenon portraying Adrianita in the telenovela "Quinceañera." In the award winning short "Liminal," directed by Stephen Keep Mills, Alejandra won Best Actress Awards at The Tregor Film Festival, The Levante International Film Festival and The Festival Du Film De Strasbourg. Recent film credits include Fidel, El Viaje de la Nonna, 31 Dias, Pulling Strings and Compulsion. Love is Not Love, directed by Stephen Keep Mills, provides her first lead in an English feature film. It had its world premiere at Cinequest Film Festival in March 2020. Alejandra won Best Actress Awards at The New Renaissance Film Festival and The Rosarito International Film Festival.
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.
