The screenwriter of the Istanbul Guardians series is busy preparing for the new episode to be released. When his boss asks him to write an episode introducing the Gümüşçüler Çarşısı (Silversmiths' Bazaar), he goes to Veli Dede's shop to do some research. The young woman finds herself in the midst of a great mystery at the shop she went to for research. According to the stories, there is a hidden treasure beneath Istanbul, and the secret of this treasure is entrusted to the silversmiths. Veli Dede is the last guardian of this treasure. The treasure is not a valuable stone like gold, diamonds, or rubies, but a life-giving water that heals those who drink it and keeps them from aging. After learning this, Aslı embarks on a mysterious adventure.
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.
