This is the gripping and brief saga of a young man who claims to be the reincarnation of Gurcius Gewdner. Spiritism, spontaneous combustion, love, mutated chickens, animated credits, copyright and image violations, as well as a skillful use of cinematic language characterize this, which is the best documentary ever made. A critical and public success, it has been banned in over 153 countries. This documentary produced in 2011 perfectly closes this lineup of Gurcius Gewdner's early films, serving as almost a revisiting reflection of a passionate and cynical filmmaker who saw special interest in fake documentaries as a chance to produce films with zero budget, always with the kuchar brothers in his heart. It is also a vote of hope for the emergence of new directors, touched by the spark of creation when watching these films by Gurcius Gewdner in the early 2000s.

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.
