Rebecca Antonaci, born in 2004, actress, dancer, performer, musician, singer-songwriter, active in theatre, cinema and television. From a very early age Rebecca shows a strong talent for the performing arts. Directed by her parents towards performative arts studies, from the age of 6 Rebecca attends singing, dance, musical performance and piano lessons. She is the protagonist of the new film by Saverio Costanzo: "Finalmente L'alba" (soon to be released), alongside actors such as Lily James, Joe Kerry and Willem Dafoe, production Fremantle/ Wildside. Over the years her talent grows, bringing her to aspire to artistic excellence. Rebecca starts studying acting and starts training for the performing arts with actress and director Terry Paternoster; she thus develops a vivid passion for the creative processes that precede any artistic creation, acquiring at the same time technical abilities of international reach as an actress. Rebecca is currently attending the last year of a specialized music high school in Viterbo, adding sax to her piano playing studies. In 2020 she debuts as a singer-songwriter and her tracks are immediately included in Spotify’s official playlists, broadcasted by many radio stations across Italy. In 2022 she makes her first album “MORFINA” (to be released soon), containing 10 unpublished songs written and performed by herself. Rebecca recently co-starred in the first season of new drama series “Luce dei tuoi occhi (Light of your eyes)” directed by Fabrizio Costa and aired on italian national network Mediaset, in the role of Sofia. This year the young actress could be seen performing in the national series “Don Matteo 13” in the role of Stella Barbagallo, and in “Lea, un nuovo giorno” in the role of Aurora Penna. Rebecca is also one of the faces in the new Barilla adverts (2021) directed by Saverio Costanzo Her credits include: “Georgie il musical” directed by Marcello Sindici in the role of Catherine; “Fragile – Maneggiare con il cuore”, financed by the Ministry of equal opportunities, in the role of Fragile; “Non dirlo al mio capo 2” (1 episode) in the role of Irene, and “Il lato oscuro” directed by Vincenzo Alfieri, working side to side with nationally acclaimed actor Alessio Boni.
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.
