John G. Morris: Eleven Frames (2010) is a documentary that explores the career of John G. Morris, one of the most influential photo editors of the 20th century. Known for his work with legendary photographers like Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson, Morris was instrumental in shaping the way iconic historical moments were visually documented. The film centers on Morris’s decision to publish 11 frames from Capa’s D-Day photographs, which became some of the most significant images of World War II. Directed by Michelle and Olivier Richard, the documentary blends interviews, archival footage, and personal reflections to capture Morris’s profound impact on photojournalism, his ethical approach to imagery, and the emotional weight of curating war photographs. John G. Morris: Eleven Frames offers a compelling glimpse into the life of a man whose editorial choices helped shape public perception of world events.
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.
