"In the rolls of film shot by Dinz Rialto during his travels he searched for 'real' images, without filters, paradoxically finding them precisely where the act of filming is most evident. Those looks in the camera surprised me, intimidated me, just like those faces that appear amazed and shy in front of the camera: unaware actors of a frontal cinema, so direct as to push me to step aside and become a mirror in my turn, to move on to others those looks, isolated, free from any narrative. No story: just glances, held and slowed down to maintain the intensity."
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.
