Born in 1992, Esra Kucur graduated with top honors from the Performing Arts/Acting Department at Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Bodrum Faculty of Fine Arts. In 2017, she participated in various training programs on acting, contemporary dance, and martial arts at the Grotowski Institute in Poland. Later, she received training on Eugenio Barba’s technique of non-daily use of the body from Odin Teatret members Jan Ferslev, Donald Kitt, Carolina Pizarro, and Roberta Carreri and performed a presentation at the institute. Starting classical ballet and contemporary dance at a young age, she pursued these alongside her acting education, leading her to focus on dance theater. She has performed as both an actor and dancer in many productions. Currently, Esra Kucur continues her work in acting and dance and also does voice-over work. She is pursuing her master's degree in the Theater Department at Haliç University Graduate School.
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.
