"Drag is pure politics", says one of the artists who star in this documentary about drag art in Argentina, based on the "Miss Lipsync Battle" contest, which takes place at the Peuteo bar in the Palermo neighborhood. The competition is a landmark of the Buenos Aires nightlife since many artists take their first steps there, having the opportunity to share the stage with established figures in front of a fierce audience and a jury of notables. At the same time that the different stages of the contest are recorded, following the emotional pulse of each participant, the film reflects and narrates a brief history of local drag, invoking and summoning figures that built myths in the night.
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.
