The Jewelry of the Street, that's Eva, Kelly, Chiqui and many other transwomen from Latin America who live in Schmuckstraße on St. Pauli. They have come to Hamburg because they cannot live and work as freely in their home country as they can here. The house on Schmuckstraße and Donatella's bar are the first port of call for transsexual men in the Hanseatic city. Behind the inconspicuous Gründerzeit facade, just a few meters away from the glitter of the Reeperbahn and the neon lights of the Große Freiheit, they have found a home for their very special female microcosm.
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.
