The Native Trees of Stradbroke Island (1964), consisting of four films: Banksia Integrifolia, Casuarina Equisetifolia, Pandanus Pedunculatus and Banksia Serrata (each 6 min, b & w). Music: Nancy Tow. "Born out of our interest in the environment, based on Corinne's training in botany, these were our first essays on landscape. When we refilmed some of this material at Island Fuse in 1971, we were struck by our emphasis on close-ups in this early work, compared to our subsequent landscape films."
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.
