Biography from TheMovieDB

Divya Kharnare is a young filmmaker and storyteller with over eight years of experience in crafting compelling narratives across feature-length documentaries and fiction films. His career began at BhaDiPa, a regional Marathi YouTube channel, where he spent three years directing comedy sketches, music videos, and non-fiction content. Following this, he transitioned into independent filmmaking, directing acclaimed documentary films such as 15 Seconds A Lifetime, P for Paparazzi, and Letters to My Grandma. These films have premiered at prestigious platforms, including the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Dharamshala International Film Festival (DIFF), New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF), and the International Documentary & Short Film Festival of Kerala (IDSFFK).  In 2022, Divya was selected for the Kyoto Filmmakers Lab, where he worked as an Assistant Director on the Hands-On Jidaigeki project. He further expanded his work by serving as the DA (Director’s Assistant) and 2nd Unit Director on the Amazon Original Love Storiyaan, produced by Dharmatic Entertainment and helmed by Hardik Mehta.  Divya’s dedication to the craft has been recognized through various accolades, including the DOC Aviv Award at Doc Edge Kolkata, Special Jury Mentions, and Best Editing Awards at IDSFFK. His work consistently explores nuanced themes, blending social realities with an evocative touch of magic realism. Recently graduating as a Direction student from the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune, he continues to explore innovative ways to merge fantasy and realism in his storytelling.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
