The process of taking a photograph and being able to see it, has changed a lot in a very short period. Digital photography brought about a revolution in this experience, which meant the rapid extinction of processes that José Luis, one of the most emblematic photography technicians in Mexico, was accustomed to. It is through his portrait that we can reconstruct a part of the history of local and national analog photography. "Memorias de un análogo" ("Analog Memories") is a tribute to the work of the lab technician, a key figure in the existence of analog photography, and a way to recognize the processes of adaptation in the face of adversity that the analog world and our friend José Luis have experienced.
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.
