A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Lena grew up with parents from the Southern part of Jutland and Montenegro on the island Als. In Lena’s movies her Balkan roots are often expressed through the characters that appears, and through her films she examines how she can combine the Eastern European temper and the Southern Jutlandic serenity. It's important to be system- and norm critical in Lena's exploration of the meaningless everyday life and whatever burns. Lena finds it interesting to create reliable characters who are edgy and absurd, and for whom it can be hard to be placed in the kind of system we live in. Lena plays in the choirharmonizing punk band slim0, where she expresses the rebelliousness, which also appears in her films.

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.
