We live in a society that, to a certain extent, allows itself to be ruled by an Empire of Fear. The origin of many historical events can be traced back to repression, to loss, these events converge to form a catastrophe of such magnitude that the wounds never heal. A vicious circle is thus created, which contributes to the preservation of fear. The idea here is to construct a new context for the images; to imprint on the images a personal perspective by virtue of which they can be transposed to a subjective level. In this way, to raise the question of whether the events can be read from one's own perspective, from a different place.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
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.
