The 'Film spatial' proposes a subjective visit to Yona Friedman's apartment Yona Friedman is an 86 year old visionary architect and urbanist. His work has overthrown the dominating position of the architect as well as the established link between citizens with their cities, and of man and his environment. Unlike how one conceives of an architect's apartment nowadays, Yona Friedman's space can be perceived from an erratic point of view or angle, which could be the one of his dog, Baltkis, who is the key figure of Yonas Friedman's universe. Through the exploration of a floating universe tinged with mysteries,'Film spatial' invites one to another way of perceiving the world, freed from intellectual and conceptual conformism.
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.
