Ti Raul, 93 years old, is the oldest shellfish collector in the municipality of Aljezur. Guardian of the memory of the history of fishermen settling in the bay of Arrifana beach. He takes us through his personal and family experience to the current Portinho da Arrifana and the fishing community where his son Giló and his grandson Eugénio continue to practice the ancestral arts of artisanal fishing to earn their daily bread. The daily hustle and bustle of the boats and the unloading of fish for the local auction coexists with the whistle of the surfers' monitors in the coming and going of the sea waves that they share in common, while a little bell in the distance on the beach announces the arrival of the Berlin balls to the delight of summer bathers.
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.
