Ali, Sofiane, Nora... arrive for their first year at the Pasteur lower-secondary school in Gennevilliers, and discover a new world... one that the fourth-year students Anissa, Méline and Marion... are just about to leave. What is at stake in these entry-point and final-year classes? In the four years spent there, the youngsters enter their teenage years, begin to perceive their place in society and have to think about their future. From December to June, this chronicle follows the maths teachers, Anne-Sophie, Fabienne and Richard, who are also the class teachers for the first and final year pupils. We discover all the out-of-class meetings and paperwork, as well as the end-of-year committees that decide what kind of education the youngsters will go on to do. In a far from easy situation, the teachers are forced to rethink their educational role, which is not limited to transmitting knowledge.
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.
