Synopsis: "October" is a love story between a very young woman (Laureline) and a man in the prime of life (Roland). The day before they leave on a trip, Laureline comes across holiday photos of her, her father and Roland. This event brings them back to their reality on the fringes of society's codes, and causes tensions between them. As the evening goes on, their relationship deteriorates until early in the morning when she decides to leave him. Statement of intent: During our first working meetings, it seemed obvious to us, with the director, that we had to give an extra soul to this story that only takes place behind closed doors. To make this physical bubble that symbolizes their confinement have something oppressive. Light was the option chosen to play this role in the diegesis. As the film unfolds, the light and its multiple colors express the feelings shared by the protagonists.

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.
