Animation short made entirely with sand on glass recorded frame by frame without post-production.
Using sand-on-glass stop motion animation, the film reproduces the lyrics of the soundtrack song, in a pop symphony in which each image links with the previous in very organic ways. The lyrics of the song, translated into English are: "Notes on an old dream. A hand stretched out to hundreds. Know that everything flows, and that is knowledge. Do you think you're just passing-by? That we don't leave any trace? Don't forget that you are a message in a bottle. Stop, don't run so fast. It's your self what you're looking for. Where does your art come from? How wise is to share it. Landscapes to forget. Patches on my pockets. Moments to be found. Gazes and choruses. You came to me without speaking a word. We walked along the seashore. Kisses that tasted of the sea, while the sand tickled you. Stop, don't run so much. It's your self what you're looking for. Where does your art come from? It's a matter of being and not just of passing-by, of seeing and understanding and not of judging. Where does your art come from? How wise to share it. Stop, don't run so fast. It's your self what you're looking for."

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.
