The Nihon Gen'yasai was an outdoor music event held from August 14 to 16, 1971, at Tenjinmine in Narita, Chiba Prefecture. Kenji Aoike's 23-minute film documents the two-day event, where rock bands including Zunou Keisatsu and LOST AARAARF, jazz performers such as Masayuki Takayanagi, and avant-garde performance troupe Zero Jigen gathered and performed in support of the struggle between students, farmers and the government over the construction of Narita Airport on rural land in Chiba Prefecture. The festival was held one year after the Osaka World Expo in 1970, and in contrast to this highly organised and commercial national event, the Gen'yasai represented an alternative form of mass gathering celebrating counterculture, collectivity and free expression.
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.
