On the 1st of March 1956, the boat "Brenning" of Sørfold was subjected to a tragic accident at Stadt while on the way home from fishing. Of all of the 20 people aboard the boat, only Nils Evjen survived by rescuing himself from the accident. He tells his incredible story about the situation, while eye witnesses tell their stories from both the sea and the land. And relatives explain how they experienced the tragedy. The film is a warm, sober and close description of one of many tragedies in our dramatic coastal history. And an honor to those who never came home.
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.
