It’s special retrospective night in the Cine Caribe with CLAUDIA (50), the film’s actress. AVELINO (55), the projectionist, worked with her twenty years ago. He goes to meet Claudia in hopes to remember old times and as a present, brings with him a fragment of the film. Not remembering Avelino she takes him for an admirer and autographs the celluloid. Avelino’s boss fires him for stealing part of the film and Avelino realizes time has passed and he hasn’t achieved anything. Along with MARCEL (22), his disciple, he films and inserts himself into the movie to relive his past, but the projection ends and Avelino has to face reality.
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.
