This file addresses the work of the emblematic Bolivian filmmaker Jorge Sanjinés, investigating the creative aspects of this director who knew how to create his own language and aesthetics consistent with the Andean worldview. His work is an insight into that collectivist world that brings us closer in a sensitive way to the soul of Bolivian society. It is a call to attention to the whole of society regarding the cultural values of the indigenous majorities. Consistent with his discourse, Jorge Sanjinés is a director who has strived to make communicable, reflective, critical and beautiful cinema that has survived censorship, persecution and exile, bringing to the continent and the world all the richness of an unmissable work.
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.
