Festival of the Midnight Sun, a.k.a. the Mantorp Festival became the biggest fiasco in Swedish pop festival history. The festival was presented the midsummer weekend 19-21 June 1970 at Mantorp Raceway. A local band, Magazine Story, from Linköping, had the honor of opening the festival with Clabbe af Geijerstam as MC. The raceway and surroundings were almost empty. Clabbe's welcome speech explained that the sun was the guest of honor at the festival, which was dedicated to "peace, friendship, love, community and everything that can be thought of as beautiful".
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.
