A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Tbilisi, Georgia
Director, writer and producer Sandro Souladze was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 1988, to Giorge Souladze, a film director and editor, and Dinara Maglakelidze, a film scientist. This fact determined his love and interest to cinema from the early childhood. Just before he turned 10, he moved to Berlin with his mother, where he lived out his teenage years. Berlin quickly became his city and soon began to shape Souladze's future and also his passion for German expressionism, what was soon reflected in his first short experimental film The Violinist. At 23, Souladze applied to Shota Rustaveli Film and Theater Georgia State University and was readily accepted. There he got his master degree in filmmaking. In his university years, Sandro made three shorts - The Violinist, The Black Goo and Tuta.
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.
