Yair Raveh is better known as one of Israel's leading film critics and journalists. Apart from his widely read print column, since 2006 he also runs Israel's most popular and influential film-blog, Cinemascope. Besides his work as critic and film-school lecturer, Raveh has also written scripts to diverse projects - film-noir (Death of a Disco Dancer, 1998), comedy skits (Bruno, 1993) and documentaries. In many of his projects Raveh collaborated with Israeli comedic superstar, Shlomo Bar-Aba, which recently become internationally renowned as the elderly and grumpy professor in Footnote. Raveh is the co-creator and co-writer of Kathmandu, the Israeli TV drama series of 2012, that launched Gal Gadot's acting carreer.

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.
