This documentary shows us what the Afterparty is actually about in a discreet and non-sensationalistic way. Because have you ever wondered why is it illegal to experiment with our consciousness? AFTER dives into the "hedonistic" night-life of wandering young adults in Amsterdam who push their physical and mental boundaries every weekend to explore 'the meaning of life' in a world that seems asleep to them. What do the students find and see when they step out of the rat race? What deeper human needs are fulfilled at these after-hours when they use drugs together? The film tries to answer these questions while it resembles the experience of being under influence. Some viewers might perceive an escapist and extreme behavior, but underneath is a greater human desire for intimacy and security.
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.
