In New Caledonia, Marie-Claude Tjibaou is an undisputed authority: widow of independence leader Jean-Marie Tjibaou, founder and president of the Tjibaou Cultural Center, now a member of the Committee of Elders. An extraordinary life that merges with the history of his country. But who is she really? In the footsteps of her son Emmanuel, this film takes us to discover Andi (her customary name in the Païci language) and a touching, secretive and strong Marie-Claude Tjibaou. An intimate and universal portrait at the same time. The portrait of a standing woman who, despite the hardships, has never given up.
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.
