Jean-Noël Gobron was born in Belgium on 19th January 1954 as the son of the poet Marie-Jo Gobron (1916-2008) and the painter Roger Gobron (1899-1985). At the age of thirteen he realized his first super 8 film experiments. Four years later he left school to work in an industrial photographic studio and as a projectionist in a movie theatre. After a year he resumed school in order to study photography, plastic arts and film. In Brussels he graduated from the film school. In 1973 he creates the film club ZOOM and from 1974 onwards he worked on several motion pictures as camera operator and director of photography. In 1983, during a three months trip to Tokyo, he directed his first feature film. Two years later he founded the production house ALCYON FILM. Jean-Noël Gobron was active within various associations, such as the ABAFT (association of film and television authors), the ABPRF (association of producer-directors), the AJC (workshop of young filmmakers), the CBA (audio-visual center at Brussels), HOT DOC. (association for documentary makers), PROSPERE (authority gathering several associations) and the audio-visual commission of the SABAM. He also lectured cinema at the VUB (Flemish university of Brussels), the KASK (film academy of Ghent) and the NARAFI (film institute in Brussels. In 2018 after having lived for almost 45 years in Brussels, he leaves Belgium for France with his spouse Charmian Cabrera. There they create the art gallery ESPACE D’ART ROGER GOBRON, dedicated to the work of Jean-Noël’s parents.

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.
