25 Million Stitches: One Stitch, One Refugee is an artistic statement from the international community about human displacement, on view at WMQFA from March 1 - July 28, 2024. Explore the creation, installation, and impact of this powerful exhibition with Jennifer Kim Sohn, the artist who conceived the project; panel makers and WMQFA volunteers Nina Edelman and Helen Lambron; WMQFA artist in residence Noora Badeen; and museum staff. The exhibition includes 25 million hand-sewn stitches, each representing a single displaced human being. The smaller panels are bound to 407 muslin banners. Building the physical representation of this statistic required participation from 2,300 stitches from 37 countries and all 50 U.S. states.
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.
