"For the son of a worker, a technical baccalaureate is not bad enough! Bernard Kudlak, the future artistic director, took exception to this prediction by an uninspired guidance counselor. This was the starting point of Cirque Plume: the story of a group of friends who, destined for the factory, chose to invent the lives of artists. With no technical training, they embarked on the adventure, unaware that they would contribute to the invention of a new artistic genre. Founders of the troupe, guest artists but also show technicians, administrators, cooks... Twenty-five characters tell us about the various stages of the troupe's construction, from the carefree days of their twenties to the need to reinvent themselves, from DIY to a cultural enterprise. An epic story shared by its protagonists.
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.
