A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Pablo Martínez Pessi (1980) has worked as a director, producer, and editor at Gabinete Films since 2006. In 2009, he premiered his first film Desde las aguas, awarded best Uruguayan documentary in ATLANTIDOC 2009. He directed the documentary Normal (2012), the documentary shorts Semillitas (2006) and Guarino (2007), and the short films Besos en la boca (2009), Los aviones (2008) and Palabras cruzadas (2005). He is the director and producer of the documentary Your Parents Will Come Back (2015), which has won several awards and participated in international film festivals in Málaga, Rio de Janeiro, San Pablo, Lima, Berlin, Sydney, Torino, Marseille, Toulouse and Seattle, among others. In 2016, Martínez Pessi toured internationally with Your Parents Will Come Back, bringing the documentary film to audiences in more than 26 European and American cities. The tour was endorsed by the Uruguayan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Organization of Ibero-American States for their “Educate on Memory to Build the Future” program.

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.
