Andrés Narváez, Colombian social leader, music minstrel and empirical poet, returns to the Montes de María after his exile in Spain, following an attempt on his life in which he was shot four times. His time in Asturias and the melancholy of a forced migration inspired him to compose several of his best known songs, connecting through song the two Europes: the one he left and the one that welcomed him. Upon his return, with the violence still latent, Andrés delves into the deepest landscapes of his territory and the most painful memories that the war left behind, composing in memory of those who no longer walk with him; music saved him and that is why he decided that 'it is better to sing than to point out'.
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.
