In the past fifteen years, the Asian art market has exploded. Chinese collectors now spend more money in auction than Americans and Brits, while a new generation of Asian artists are reshaping the world’s artistic palate. My Dear Art depicts the wonders and absurdities of the Asian art market. From China, to Singapore to London, it profiles the artists, collectors, gallerists and experts who are changing the face of the art business forever and asks fundamental questions about the value and role of art in modern society.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
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:

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.
