A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Raphaël Millet is a film director, producer, writer and scholar. A graduate of the Paris Institute of Political Studies, he subsequently completed a postgraduate degree with a Master in Film Studies at University Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3. He then successively worked for the French National Centre for Cinema, France Télévisions, before being posted in Singapore as a cultural and audiovisual attaché, and then in Dubai as regional audiovisual attaché. He has also taught film studies at University Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris from 1997 to 2002, and written extensively about movies in magazines, dictionaries and encyclopedias, while penning books like "Cinémas de la Méditerranée, cinémas de la mélancolie" (2002), "Le Cinéma de Singapour" (2004), "Singapore Cinema" (2006), and "Cinema in Lebanon / Le Cinéma au Liban" (2017). He cofounded in 2007 Nocturnes Productions, for which he has on one hand produced documentaries about the history of cinema, such as "Code Name Melville" (2008), "Jean-Luc Godard, Disorder Exposed" (2012), "Edgar Morin, Chronicle of a Gaze" (2014), and on the other hand directed "Pierre Schoendoerffer, the Sentinel of Memory" (2011), "The Cinematographic Voyage of Gaston Méliès to Tahiti" (2014), "Gaston Méliès and His Wandering Star Film Company" (2015) and "Chaplin in Bali" (2017).

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.
