A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Original Title:
日常日長(或一次自拍)
Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 9
This work started as a personal project. The artist initially intended to create a one-man home video only for himself, hoping to gather snippets from his life abroad to represent them as vital parts of his life and temporary definitions, forming a time capsule created to commemorate his graduation. A few months later, the artist restarted this unfinished project and changed his intention during editing. By remaking this essay film using several (pseudo-) video diaries and two different mediums—digital recording and digitized Super 8mm footage, the artist translates private, intimate whisperings into his reflections about memory, viewing, film, and the process of image (re-) production.
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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
