16mm film loop plus separate 16mm film reel. “You could mention that the ‘cigar commercial’ was for Dutch Masters – surely this was significant – its use in painting (Rivers, Deem), historical associations, Holland and Flanders in the history of art – the beginning of genre and (still life) painting, common scenes, portraiture. Fleming Faloon, the title, also refers to this era (not ‘our era’). Fleming Faloon deals with portraiture, but is closer to still life.” (George Landow, letter to Sheldon Renan, 1967) “After 11 minutes the projector was turned off, re-threaded and the commercial – a found object – was put on.” (Owen Land, interviewed by Mark Webber, 2004)
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.
