“Territorial Fight” follows a student and her mentor through various vocal and speech exercises. The student is subordinated to the trainer during the lessons, ready to be guided and shaped by him. Yet from a certain moment she becomes the author and the authorial narrator. As a voice over, her speech overlays the command-like speaking of the teaching situation and self-confidently opposes it with another register. The teacher’s words are decreased and cut off as the student finds a pictorial language with which she describes how song birds assert their territory through their singing, and therefore raise their claim to space. The films consists of a collage of several lessons with a voice and speech trainer from a music and theatre school. The learning objective of the student was the desire to speak in a space-occupying way.

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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
