Simon Rieth was born in Paris in 1995 and grew up in Montpellier. By the age of 26 he had already made 6 short films (Feu mes frères, Saint-Jean, screened at Premiers Plans, Sans amour, whose screenplay was read at the Festival in 2018, Marave Challenge...) which all had screenings and won awards in dozens of festivals, notably the BFI Future Film Festival, the Beijing International Film Festival, the MECAL Barcelona IFF and the FIFIB. His first feature, Nos cérémonies, produced by Les Films du Poisson, had its world premiere as the only French film in competition at the 2022 Critics' Week.

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.
