A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Pascal Sanchez is a Québec filmmaker. Un arbre avec un chapeau (A Tree with a Hat), his first work of fiction, was shown at the Festival du nouveau cinéma in Montréal and at Toronto International Film Festival. He next directed L’Île (The Island). With La reine malade (The Ailing Queen), he received the Gémeaux award for best documentary. In 2015, Les Vaillants (The Undaunted) was screened at the opening of the RIDM (Montreal International Documentary Festival). His next documentary, Loin de Bachar (Far from Bashar), is in production at NFB. Chien (Dog) is his second short film.
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.
