For this new work created for Le Générateur, Jacques Perconte sensually captures the high mountains, the camera listening to a few mountaineers suspended in their efforts between skies and stones, their hearts vibrating to the rhythm of their gestures, balance between two dimensions : there and here. L'Effort, le monde transforms the 400m2 of the Generator into an immense porthole, like the cockpit of a strange ship discovering a land that we can no longer see without thinking of the infernal machine that makes us powerful. The film has neither beginning nor end, in a continuous movement it accompanies its visitors outside of time. Thus propelled into another dimension, the space of the Generator allows a journey to be made sitting or standing, or leisurely while strolling.
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.
