The artistic and spiritual journey of a Polish January insurgent, artist-painter and benefactor of the poor - Adam Chmielowski, who, after years of turbulent youth, decides to abandon his former life and the world gets to know him as Brother Albert. His rebellious nature and disagreement with evil and suffering cause him to escape by a trick from Tsarist captivity hidden in a coffin. After achieving fame, he abandons art to serve the people. His tragic fate is crowned by a breakdown, expulsion from the Jesuit order and confinement in a mental institution. However, he was soon reborn and returned, as Brother Albert - a future saint. The film's story of his life is complemented by the fates of his famous friends and artists - Helena Modrzejewska and Jozef Chelmonski.

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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
