TOGETHER APART is Matt Hulse's third film featuring dogs. It explores a state of misgiving between two characters with different world views: a domesticated, fenced-in American dachshund (Jerry) and a wilder, free-running Scottish sheepdog (Kep). Hope fuels a state of ongoing discomfort as the pair seek to connect. The film was the outcome of a year-long artist's residency coordinated by ACES (Aberdeen Centre for Environmental Sustainability) and The University of Aberdeen, funded by Creative Scotland. The residency brought together artists, natural and social scientists and ecologists to examine issues of environmental conflict and to explore conflict resolution. The screenplay was developed collaboratively by artist filmmaker Matt Hulse and Professor of Geography Bill Adams. US documentary director Elizabeth Lawrence provides the voice.
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.
