Amábilis Cordero featured in his film Miracles of the Divine Shepherdess (1928) the image of the death in very precarious shape of a scrawny, anonymous actor who, wrapped in a sheet and armed with a scythe, walking in sandals rooftops Barquisimeto in what could be considered one of the first and rare surreal visions of Venezuelan film. As we know, our film has preferred rather turn towards the outside; to the marginal, criminal and sociological social fact avoiding exploring spaces of dreams and imagination. In such a witty and imaginative country like Venezuela no longer curious that the film lacks the imagination to accept that truth finds its best support in the fable: that reality always full of poetry.
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.
