A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Томмазо Фагиоли
Tommaso Fagioli has a PhD in Philosophy, a master's degree in Journalism and in Philosophical Counseling. Over the years he has worked on different projects related to contemporary art, photography, cinema and journalism. In 2014 he created www.goodshortfilms.it, the first Italian web platform entirely dedicated to short films. In 2017 he was co-writer and co-producer of ALBE -A Life Beyond Earth directed by Elisa Fuksas: a documentary film about a group of people from Rome and its surroundings who share supernatural experiences of contactism, ufology and cosmic spirituality. In 2018 he wrote, directed and produced his first short, Microcosmo.
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.
