"The film draws ideas, characters and inspiration from the memorable events of 1925. In a way, it can be defined as a historical chronicle, following the historical facts in their order and inter-relationship, sticking to the documentary style of story-telling and image. The characters are named after real people or after realistic prototypes. In choosing this highly conflicting moment of history as the object of artistic exploration, the film's authors were undoubtedly attracted by its stark heroism and tragedy, as well as by the opportunity to convey a contemporary moral message." - Grigor Chernev.

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.
