A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Leo Reis was trained as a painter at Valand School of Fine Arts in Gothenburg. His career was mainly within graphics and painting, but he produced two films of his own that stands out as original in a Swedish context: Metamorfoser wich premiered in 1961, and Räta vinklars puls (”Pulse of Right Angles”) which was finished around 1977 but never distributed. As a filmmaker Reis was solitary; he was an established and well-known painter but was not part of any film community. He worked on his own, and his first film, Metamorfoser, was produced in a studio he had at the old castle Torup in Skåne.
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.
