Runtime: 58
Tarragona, at the end of the dictatorship. A group of gay people decide to rent an apartment in the Parte Alta to love freely. Not far away, a young woman is threatened with a gun by the father of her lover, a civil guard who every afternoon spies on the steps of his lesbian daughter. At the same time, the first bars open their doors in the city. Quim, Carla, Fina, Patxitxa, Toñi, Sendo, Edu, Gelo, Núria, Ció, Dani and Manolo are the twelve protagonists of this documentary that explores the LGBTIQ+ life in Tarragona during the late Franco era and the beginning of the transition. Tender and sometimes overwhelming testimonies, because the party is also synonymous with liberation and fulfillment. A tribute to twelve people who laid the first stone of our freedoms.
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.
