Pierre Drouot is a Belgian film producer, director, and screenwriter known for his significant contributions to Belgian cinema. Born in Oudenaarde, he grew up in a bilingual household, with a Francophone father and a Dutch-speaking mother, experiencing life in various Belgian cities, including Ghent and Bastogne. Drouot began his career in the 1960s, co-directing films such as Cash? Cash! (1967) and L'Étreinte (1969) with Paul Collet. The latter, an erotic film with feminist undertones, garnered attention in Belgium at the time. Transitioning to production, Drouot played a pivotal role in the Belgian film industry, serving as the director of the Vlaams Audiovisueel Fonds (VAF), where he supported numerous Belgian filmmakers and projects. His dedication to fostering local talent and promoting Belgian cinema has left a lasting impact on the industry.

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.
