A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alice Cohen is an animator and musician living in Brooklyn, NY. She has composed and released recordings over many years in a wide variety of contexts including New Wave band The Vels, Die Monster Die in the 90s, and more experimental solo work in recent yearsl. Her visual work is informed by her musical history as well as an ongoing interest in mystical and metaphysical worlds. Drawn to the colors and printing techniques of bygone eras, Cohen has incorporated these elements into her current animation work, recycling found imagery from old books and magazines to create surreal dreamscapes. In addition to dozens of music videos created for bands, her animation work has been shown in screenings, galleries and museums, including Microscope Gallery, The New Museum, Filmmaker’s Coop, Anthology Film Archives, LA Film Forum, and the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw, Poland.

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.
