Actor Aleksandr Vladimirovich Obmanov was born on August 6, 1989. His passion for the arts began during his school years, and in 2012, he graduated from the director's department at VGIIK (Volgograd State Institute of Art and Culture) under the expert guidance of his mentor, E.L. Basilašvili. After receiving his diploma, Aleksandr continued to further his skills at the School of Drama under the tutelage of Herman Sidakov, successfully completing his training in 2018. As a theatrical actor, Aleksandr Obmanov is primarily associated with avant-garde projects. He has collaborated with the youth independent intellectual theater Re/Actor in Saint Petersburg, featuring in productions such as "Where Souls Burn" (as Vatslov Leshchinsky) and "I Want to Kiss You" (as Sergio Garanti). His journey in the world of cinema began in 2014 when he appeared in various TV series in mainly episodic roles. His first significant on-screen role came in 2021 when he portrayed the central character Kirill in Diana Ringo's drama "Quarantine." The film also starred Merited Artist of Russia Anatoly Bely. In 2023, Aleksandr Obmanov reunited with Diana Ringo for another project, sci-fi film titled "1984". He plays the protagonist, a brilliant mathematician who faces a harrowing choice in a dystopian society. The film is based on George Orwell's classic novel.
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.
