Soejima Shinobu creates stop-motion animation and sculptures that explore impermanence and fear of the unexpected, and many of her works use motifs from Asian folk stories and religious ceremonies. Shinobu spent eight years in Malaysia before receiving her B.A. from the UCL Slade School in London and B.A. in Intermedia of Fine Arts from the Tokyo University of the Arts, where she is currently working toward an M.A. in the Department of Animation. Honors include the Eriko Kimura judge's prize at Art Award Tokyo Marunouchi (2018) and an award at the Image Forum Festival (2018).

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.
