In “O Canto”, we are taken over by the traditions and unique sounds of Arapiraca’s tobacco producers. The film presents Mestra Rosália Gomes as the guide through this immersion in the poetry of the everyday lives of women whose lives are intertwined with the culture of smoking. As we follow Rosália, we discover the ancestral roots and the powerful strength that resides in the corners that flourish in coexistence between women. This film explores ancestral strength, revealing a world of beauty and resilience that is passed down from generation to generation. “O Canto” is a celebration of the cultural richness and resilience of the distillers.
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.
