After a perilous journey across the Mediterranean, Eva (12) and Rami (6) finally reach Europe. Separated from their parents during the crossing, they end up in a refugee camp. Weeks turn into months. Rami, longing for their parents, believes they're in the mermaid Vegas world, a safe place their mother sang about in a lullaby. Eva, fearing they drowned, dismisses this as fantasy.One evening, Rami sneaks out to the beach and spots a luminescent mareel in the sea, which his mother said marked the entry to Vega's world. As he wades in, he grows a mermaids tail and jubilantly calls for Eva. Convinced, she joins him, and together they dive into Vegas world, determined to find their parents.
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.
