N/A
Runtime: 2
The film Kytka was made by René Slauka in the first half of the 1990s, along with other computer animations that he created independently or in collaboration with Věra Geislerová. Both were members of the Video Sector, founded by Radek Pilař. They participated in the first presentations of these video artists, as they called themselves. Slauka, like Věra Geislerová or another member of the Video Sector, Lucie Svobodová, saw new possibilities of visual expression in computer animation. Slauka, who focuses on recordings of everyday and even intimate situations in his photography, devoted his computer animation to simulating space and depicting everyday things as attributes of the material world.
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.
