After six years of studying at a pesantren, Said returned to his village, Wonosari, only to find it drastically changed. His village was now entangled in mystical beliefs. Amid the chaos, Said reunited with Sari, his childhood sweetheart, but their relationship was hindered by Sari’s mother, Santika, who was determined to make Sari the lead dancer in the village's ritual. Unaware of the true importance of her role, Sari found herself caught in a dangerous web of intrigue involving Santika, Ningsih, and the village chief. Ningsih, who aspired to take the lead dancer's place, was willing to do anything—including using black magic—to threaten Sari. Meanwhile, Ki Dalang, the leader of the ritual, struggled to uncover who truly possessed the qualities to become the lead dancer. This search led to a confrontation with dark forces that threatened everyone involved. This tale, rich in mystery and conflict, tests the limits of love, trust, and tradition.

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.
