Biography from TheMovieDB

He was born on November 23 (December 6) 1909 (according to other sources, December 1 or 1899) in the village of Chaek (according to other sources, in the villages of Kairma or Karoy) (now in the Jumgal district of Naryn region, Kyrgyzstan) into a poor peasant family. He was a collective farm worker.  From 1936, he was part of the troupe at the Kyrgyz Musical and Dramatic Theater (now the Kyrgyz State Opera and Ballet Theater named after A. Maldybaev, Bishkek). At the same time, he studied at the studio associated with the theater, graduating in 1937.  Since 1941, he was an actor at the Kyrgyz Drama Theater (now the Kyrgyz National Academic Drama Theater named after T. Abdymomunov, Bishkek).  He began acting in films in 1949.  For many years, until his death, he headed the Kyrgyz Theatrical Society without interruption. He was a member and chairman of the jury for many creative reviews.  He was a deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the Kyrgyz SSR for the 5th to 8th convocations. He participated in the plenums and congresses of the CPSU Central Committee and the Communist Party of the Kyrgyz SSR, and was a member of the Committee for Lenin and State Prizes of the USSR under the USSR Council of Ministers.  He passed away on February 1, 1974, in Frunze (now Bishkek) and was buried at the Ala-Archa Cemetery.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
