The last years of the 10s were not easy. We had a World War, the Spanish flu pandemic, the first strikes in Brazil, and frosts threatening coffee plantations, announcig the beginning of a transition from rural to urban areas. And, in the midst of all this, painters, musicians and writers propose new paths for art. Set in the period from 1917 to 1922, the series presents the influences of all these events in a group of friends formed by Anita Malfatti, Oswald de Andrade, Mário de Andrade, Menotti Del Picchia and Tarsila do Amaral, who are willing to lead the changes they believe need to be made. With them, we will follow the first steps towards the creation of the transformative movement Brazilian Modernism.
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.
