A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Róbert Lakatos was born in 1968 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. He is a director and producer, known for Bahrtalo! (2008), Über die Grenze - Fünf Ansichten von Nachbarn (2004) and Ki kutyája vagyok én (2022). In 2000 he graduated from at the National Film, TV and Drama Art Academy in Lódz - Department of Cinematography, TV Production and Photography. He recieved prize of the Hungarian Film Critics for the Best Hungarian Young Documentary Director in 2003. He often makes films about outsiders. He spends so much time with his protagonists that they stop regarding him as a stranger. His careful, unobtrusive camera and editing at eye level does justice to all the great and small events in life. At the moment Róbert Lakatos is working as a script writer, director and cinematographer for the Duna Muhely Studio and the Inforg Studios in Hungary.

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.
