In 1975, DFFB students search for traces of the labor movement of the 1920s in Charlottenburg's Zillestrasse. Wallstraße was one of the poorest residential areas in Berlin at the time and a stronghold of the German Communist Party (KPD). In detailed interviews, former KPD members talk about their organizational and propaganda work in the "house protection squads" and the street battles with the National Socialists. The documentary film Street in Resistance revives a chapter of the workers' movement that has received little attention in the West and also recalls the novel Our Street by writer Jan Petersen, published in exile in 1936, about everyday life in Wallstrasse.
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.
