The video features six vignettes in which solo dancers move through urban and natural environments in New York City and Upstate New York. The performers employ a range of movement vocabularies. Some gestures respond to the surrounding landscape while others stem from voguing, a style of dance that evolved from the Ballroom scene, an underground subculture created by members of the Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ community in New York, which came to prominence in the 1980s. The video features live performances by vocalists and drummers playing rhythms from the African diaspora paired with audio recordings from a 2020 Black Trans Lives march in New York, where Gibson is based.
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.
