Ha Lyngkha Bneng is a poignant exploration of human connection amid change, set in 2047 against the serene East Khasi Hills. The film follows Livingstone and his fellow villagers as they confront loss, love, and resilience. With only six villagers remaining, the bonds of friendship and community become vital, offering solace amidst urban migration and loneliness. Livingstone’s journey on a vintage bus symbolizes his enduring love for his late wife, Belinda. As the narrative unfolds, a cast of endearing characters emerges, each grappling with dreams and desires amid loss. Together, they embody resilience, their collective spirit shining through life’s uncertainties. Ha Lyngkha Bneng is a moving testament to the power of community, woven with themes of love, loss, and the enduring strength found in solidarity.

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.
