Hundreds of children and youth orchestras around the world are emerging musical inspired by the Venezuelan phenomenon known as "The System." This rebellion of thousands of children are being held internationally to give children everywhere the opportunity to grow in an atmosphere of creativity, companionship, entertainment, art, discipline and high social values. The brilliant and charismatic Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel leads to an unforgettable journey to some of the most remote corners of the world, about the transformative stories of a group of children who bring us a clear and powerful message: "music is a universal right. " Filmed in seven countries, Dudamel: the sound of children is a journey into the bowels of this global phenomenon that elevates the importance of art as a spiritual weapon against a dehumanized world.
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.
