"Imaji" follows Agas, a 12-year-old boy, amidst the constant discord of his parents' arguments. A trivial incident involving spilled chocolate milk prompts yet another altercation, prompting Agas to seek refuge in his vivid imagination: a whimsical house inhabited by Sura, his imaginary friend. Determined to quell his parents' strife by cleaning his stained shirt, Agas enlists Sura's reluctant help. However, their efforts lead to conflict as Sura's playful nature clashes with Agas's mission. As rain complicates Agas's task, desperation sets in. Sacrificing his beloved toys to dry his shirt, Agas inadvertently saddens Sura. Yet, through reconciliation, they engage in a final game, with Agas wagering Sura's departure. Emerging triumphant, Agas returns to reality, presenting his clean shirt as a symbol of resolution to his mother. "Imaji" is a poignant short film exploring the resilience of childhood innocence amidst familial turmoil.

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.
