Documentary that attempts to establish a portrait of the variable -and at times immeasurable- collective of Constitución Station. Vendors, train drivers, officials, the needy, opportunists and untimely offer a framework that is in daily tension between those who live the space as a threshold to other realities and those who live it as their living space. The film sets out to recover these small stories from a perspective as meticulous as it is distant, to observe each of these tenuous events as an impartial, silent and almost impressionistic spectator in order to obtain from this zero sum, the general portrait of a world.
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.
