A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

January 1, 1959
Born in Fez, Morocco in 1959. A graduate in medicine and a postgraduate degree in management from HEC, he was project manager in a communications consultancy agency in Paris and head of cultural and humanitarian sponsorship for the Danone group. He has made several films or documentary series since 1998, including "Life in 8", in 2000 "Books of life, memoirs of the humble", "Travels in the Mediterranean", "Fils de son père", in 2001 "French from here , peoples from elsewhere", in 2002 "Casa Marseille, inch'Allah" and "Little maids" in 2003. His documentary "Welcome Europa" in 2008, which won awards at numerous festivals, tackles the issue of young illegal immigrants (Romanians, Kurds or Moroccans) who seek refuge and work in Europe and are accused of wandering, theft and prostitution. In Berlin, Marseille, Paris, Amsterdam, Turin and Calais, Bruno Ulmer accompanied some of these men in their drift. A raw portrait of men in loss of bearings and identity.

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.
