Ugo Nespolo (Mosso, Biella, 1941), a graduate of the Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti in Turin, with a degree in Modern Letters, made his debut on the Italian art scene in the 1960s, in the climate of pop art and arte povera in Turin, spending time with artists like Pistoletto, Merz, Boetti, Zorio, but taking his own personal path involving colour and writing. A painter, sculptor, illustrator, experimenter and explorer of techniques, Nespolo – a great cinéphile – has made several artist’s films, presented over the years in various exhibitions in Italy and abroad at important cultural institutions. For many years he was the president of the National Museum of Cinema in Turin, and in recent years has continued to make films, using a digital camera.

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.
