A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

"I was born and raised in Moscow by my mother and grandmother. Growing up in a female only family has largely determined my creative path and views. I like to tell stories about women, their dreams, fears, and problems. I started my career as a Director with shooting fashion backstage. The world of fashion always fascinated me and introduced me to the best designers, stylists and models in Moscow. It influenced my taste and style. I started creating video portraits and short atmospheric videos, before it got popular in Moscow. Shortly after I got interested in other forms and started making music videos, advertising and now films. My main focus and subject is love and the relationship between men and women. In my work, I try to study it from different angles and answer the main question «One Love for one life or can we love many times?» How many tries do we get in love? But in order to answer this question, I need to live a whole life. This means that there is a lot of interesting things ahead." -Alena Shevchenko

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.
