Pasti is not an island, is surfer's fantasy surrounded by waves on all sides. Pasti is not a dream, is a series of ideas and images that come to mind when sitting on the outside. Pasti is not a delusion, is unconscious disturbance of mental faculties caused by deep and unlikely barrels. Pasti is not a surfing video., is a survival manual for people tired of the routine of the big city. Pasti is Junior Faria flying on a carpet of coral, Grillo behind the green curtain, Pigmeu punching a wall, Master Gouveia drawing the purest line with his twin fin. Pasti is the newest travel by Hang Loose, made by the same director who brought us Sambatrancerocknroll and Quintal de Casa, Rafael Mellin.
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.
