A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Natalia Sinelnikova is a writer and director based in Berlin. She emigrated from St. Petersburg to Germany in 1996 as a Jewish quota refugee. The political circumstances and antisemitism forced the family to leave the country. She studied Culture Studies in Hildesheim, focusing on theatre and photography, and film directing at Babelsberg Film University in Potsdam. Her short film Weeping Willows was screened at various international festivals. In 2016, she was a member of the Debut Film Jury of the Festival of East European Cinema Cottbus and in 2021 was part of the ZFF Academy at Zurich Film Festival. Natalia is a member of the Jewish artists' network "Dagesh". Her debut feature film We Might As Well Be Dead premiered at the Berlinale Film Festival in 2022 will have its international premiere at Tribeca Film Festival 2022.

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.
