The psychomotor development of a young child followed between the ages of 8 and 18 months serves as a reminder of how this extraordinary potential for human development will very quickly be undermined by the capture of the child's attention via screens, with the aim of making him or her as good a part of consumerist society as possible as quickly as possible. The film is based on a discrepancy between this global phenomenon of child sacrifice, with its devastating effects, which is the work of the mass media, and an 'experimental' cinematographic language that cannot be retrieved by what is known as the 'attention economy'.
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.
