Where do homeless people in Amsterdam find their night’s rest? This short documentary makes poignantly clear what it means to sleep outside as a social outcast. They populate car parks, mini-trailers and the spaces under fly-overs; the homeless people of Amsterdam, whose sleeping habits are spotlighted in this distressing documentary. Filmmaker Jelmer Wristers called on various outdoor sleepers, the camera in their faces, registering how they spend the night in their hiding places. From sleeping on a bench in open air to a 'luxury tent' where a buzzing fly interferes with sleep. And from the solitary loner hiding under boxes and crates to the group sleepers who set out together.

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.
