In 1977, Ignacio Julià shot his last film in Super-8, Nomad, a 43-minute medium-length film with three protagonists and a fourth in the shadow, the author himself. The idea of assembling static portraits arose from reading a chapter on "off-screen space" - everything that does not appear on the screen but whose absence enhances the shot and the story - in Noël Burch's book Praxis del cine. The film shows the decisive influence of Andy Warhol and Phillipe Garrel's cinema. The soundtrack is by The Velvet Underground and the poster was by the Madrid artist Ceesepe.
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.
