Old Village in the New Age is a unique documentary about Näsby and Frövi. The film was shot in 1954 - 1955 on behalf of the Näsby Local History Association, at the same time that Frövi municipal community received "status" as a town. We meet the Frövi residents at work, at school, in the community, at home and at some of the year's holidays. The renovation of the church in 1953. We also get an insight into the business world of the time and several interesting meetings with the people of the village. As a local history film, it is very comprehensive and the production was very far-sighted and can be considered a valuable document of the time, not least from a film technical point of view
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.
