If there is no utopia on the map of this world, then this world is not worth considering. Independent documentary director Sun Zhiqiang has always maintained a firm belief in Utopia, and has regarded it as his consistent state of existence and creative practice guidelines. From the first part of "The Edge of Freedom" to the "Utopia" ", Sun Zhiqiang has always focused his camera on the group of people living on the edge of freedom in the underground rock circle, faithfully witnessing their changes over the past ten years. In "Utopia", we not only experience a journey in the lives of these musicians, but we also learn about the things around them and the wider environment.
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.
