Streaks of Color
Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 6
A short film that centers on the relationship between Josi (19) and Amina (19). It was inspired by Alma Thomas’ Starry Night and the Astronauts, which depicts an expansive watery surface that captures the streaks of light from the Sun. Thomas’ painting not only immerses one within this blue space but allows one to reflect on her painting process, as it’s visibly constructed stroke by stroke. Like this extensive process, Streaks of Color intended to capture the smaller, transient moments in a relationship. Although we may often forget to appreciate these fleeting moments, Streaks of Color encourages its viewers to take a step back and reflect on and appreciate them.
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.
