Davide Palella (1996, Italy) graduates in Media Design & Multimedia Arts at NABA (Milan) in 2019. The same year he directs his first medium-length film, Sirio (38', fiction, 2019), being selected for various festivals including: Filmmaker Festival (Milan), Slow Film Festival (Mayfield) and Fuorinorma (Rome).  In April 2021 he's selected at the In Progress MFN development workshop, having as a mentor Michelangelo Frammartino and winning a development grant with his feature film project, Shura. Shura is then selected at the 2023-2024 Biennale College Cinema.  Sonnenstube (8', documentary/animation, 2022) is made during the Locarno Spring Academy 2022 under the supervision of Michelangelo Frammartino and presented in the Pardi di Domani section as a special event during the 75th Locarno Film Festival. The short film is then screened at more than 20 international film festivals like Festival dei Popoli (Florence) and ZINEBI (Bilbao). A Short Film About Vanishing (3’, fiction, 2024) is his latest work.  In September 2024 he is selected to the Pedro Costa Lab, making a short film (currently in post-production) under the guidance of the Portuguese master.  He is editor-in-chief for the online film critic magazine Filmidee and film staging professor at the Istituto Cinematografico Michelangelo Antonioni.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
