Birthplace:
Oranienbaum, Leningrad, USSR [now Lomonosov, Saint Petersburg, Russia]
Born:
May 2, 1947
Graduated from the Leningrad Choreographic Institute (now Vaganova Ballet Academy), class of Nikolai Zubkovsky and Vladimir Fidler. In 1966 he joined the Kirov (Mariinsky) Theatre where he appeared as Albrecht, Nutcracker, Siegfried, Désiré and Blue Bird, Basilio, Quasimodo (Notre Dame de Paris by Roland Petit), Golden Idol (La Bayadère), the Prince (Cinderella by Konstantin Sergeev) and many others. He was the first to perform the role of Adam (The Creation of the World by Natalia Kasatkina and Vladimir Vasilyov), Icarus (choreographed by Igor Belsky), Poruchik Rzhevsky (The Hussar Ballad by Oleg Vinogradov and Dmitri Bryantsev) and Khlestakov (The Government Inspector by Oleg Vinogradov).
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.
