The documentary film by and with Stefan Hayn describes how election posters, cigarette, detergent and cinema advertisements refer more or less clearly to topics such as tax legislation, security in old age, increasing fears about losing one's job, and domestic and foreign policy crises. In order to develop this impression, in 1998 Hayn began painting watercolors of billboards that had been put up in Berlin. From the outset, each sheet was intended as a "setting" of a documentary film that would document the economic, political and interpersonal changes that would become visible in "public" images up until 2005.
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.
