Runtime: 62
Summer One is more than a look at World Surfing in the 21st Century – it is an avant-garde journey to the high competition of the King of extreme sports, on a "surf trip" through the best international championships, with a mandatory visit to the most charismatic Portuguese waves. In the settings of the Old Continent and the Atlantic Islands, the best Athletes in the world go beyond the limits of contemporary Surf, illuminated by an exclusively Portuguese Soundtrack. Tito da Costa shows in a pioneering way the current state of national and international surfing, in a film where the talent of the best Portuguese athletes is mixed with the music of some of the most talented artists in national music.
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.
