“Esperanza Macarena: Puerta del Cielo”. This is the title of the new film by the Brotherhood of the Macarena. This work, whose script was written by Carlos Colón Perales, who also directed it together with the Sevillian director Carlos Valera Bastida, with the collaboration of the production company Valdeluxe, and the voiceover by Antonio García Barbeito, revolves around the history and legend of the Brotherhood of the Macarena, throughout almost five centuries, of the sacred and spectacular beauty of its processional departure, at dawn on Good Friday, of the devotion that overflowed Seville from a neighborhood and of Seville's love for the Esperanza Macarena which, arriving to Rome, culminated in the canonical coronation of 1964, the fiftieth anniversary of which this Macareno Jubilee Year commemorates.

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.
