Visioni della Medea (tracce di un film sognato)
Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 41
Some of the scenes cut from the final editing of Medea by Pier Paolo Pasolini, fortunately found by L’Officina - a historic Roman film club born in the 1970s - on the initiative of Cinemazero in Pordenone have been preserved and digitized at the Cineteca del Friuli. These materials, with the care of the Pasolini scholar Luciano De Giusti, have been reassembled, accompanied by texts / readings and original music by Paolo Corberi: here are the "Visions of the Medea (traces of a dreamed film)", now a very important document to reconstruct the creative process of production and reliving the poetic / lyrical aura of the film's protagonists and places, including the lagoon of Grado (GO).
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.
