A Dutch film in two parts in which the entire process – from producing the newspaper to delivering it – is explained. We see shots of the editorial and administrative offices located on Groote Houtstraat 93, and the entrance to the printing buildings at Zuider Buiten Spaarne. Making the newspaper: typesetting the adverts, the typesetting machine, the design of the newspaper, the letterforms being pressed onto the damp raster, the electric drying drum, the raster being placed in the casting machine, the plates being mounted to the rotary machine, and the printing of the newspaper. We also see the newspaper being delivered via automobile and via paperboy. (There are also images of Haarlem shot from the Grote Kerk).
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.
