It is winter with frost and snow. The forest is dressed in its beautiful, white winter dress, and on the frozen forest lake, the youth is frolicking to their hearts' content. Among the happy skaters is the young sculptor Erik Elmer. He has left his studio in the big city and is finding new courage out here on the shiny surface of the ice. It is not long before he makes the acquaintance of a charming young lady - Ethel Birk is her name - and soon they are racing hand in hand across the ice. Out here we also meet a couple of good, old acquaintances, Fyrtårnet and Bivognen. They have found a way of life by renting out skates and giving lessons in the noble sport of skating. (Stumfil.dk)
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.
