Dima Barch was born in 1998 (Moscow). He graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University as a journalist and almost finished High School of Economics as a filmmaker. Dima used to be a film journalist and critic for more than nine years. His essays were published in GQ, Esquire, Forbes, Iskusstvo Kino, etc. As huge genre-film lover, he made his short film debut with Dead End, which had a North American Premiere at Beyond Fest and a UK Premiere at London Short Film Festival (LSFF). Also, it was selected by more than fifteen international film festivals, including Panic Fest, Morbido Fest, and Salem Horror Fest. Recently Dima was named a recipient of the George A. Romero Film Fellowship, receiving the mentorship of Carter Smith (The Ruins, Jamie Marks is Dead, Swallowed). The feature script called Absence was a part of European Genre Forum 2022, and the WIP section of Brussels Genre Film Market.

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.
