This concert is a wish come true for Helene Fischer: the singer presents her personal selection of German and international Christmas songs in the atmospheric ballroom of the Vienna Hofburg. Her guests and partners are the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra from London, one of the world's most renowned symphony orchestras, and the Vienna Boys' Choir, among others. It took two years to prepare this concert. The program includes classics such as "Merry Christmas Everywhere", "Ave Maria", "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen" and "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht". There are also contemporary songs such as "In der Weihnachtsbäckerei", "Last Christmas" and "The Power Of Love".

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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
