Original Title:
Antigona
Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 21
King Creonte has Antigone imprisoned in a crypt. Buried alive, she looks out at the world from her underground dungeon. According to Elena Gutkina, graduate of the laboratory of Artur Aristakisyan, “The protagonists of the film are the dead, buried in the ground. What do they tell us? The protagonists are the living, mourning their dead. The protagonists are the undead, those who were not buried. We cannot see them, but we can mourn them. How can Antigone be saved? Who is she? Could it be the camera itself?”

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
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.
