"An 80-year-old priest who religiously reads L´Equipe because of his commitment to cycling is a good start to a film. If, in addition, that priest is a defender of smuggling of which he confesses to be a faithful practitioner and unleashes, among other things, his opinions about how the Basques love, we are before a great personal and collective portrait. With great success and cinematographic sense, Hubert Knapp dedicated one of his chapters in the French Southwest entirely to an interview with Jean Elissalde "Zerbitzari", priest born in Ascain, screenwriter and member of Euskaltzaindia who did not drop the bible in one hand to play ball with the other. The Parisian filmmaker meets and portrays him in his beautiful Gerezieta parish, a small world that reflects his universe." Punto de Vista Film Festival. Jean Elizalde was also the writter of Andre madre's film "Gure sor lekua".
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.
