Mwll (of a Fire) Lifeless is a film and soundtrack to South Wales. The film features archival footage collaged with original footage, filmed by Louis O’Hara, of the large Welsh towns of Doc Penfro, Garnant, Ynys y Barri and Port Talbot accompanied by an original soundtrack composed, performed and recorded by Louis O’Hara. The film is the final product of an extended passion project for Louis on which the works of Dylan Thomas, Idris Davies and R. S. Thomas can be heard, through recordings of Richard Burton, Dylan Thomas himself and an original recital from Welsh actress Cate Lovett. The music of the project spans many sounds and influences, and features contributions from members of bands Squid, Minor Conflict, Bible Club, Shanty Le Hara and Welsh solo artist LEO.

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.
