Anita Monteiro Cavalcanti Neiva is stepping into a new chapter as a filmmaker and an emerging artist finding their voice. Born in Brazil and now based in Montreal, Anita is studying Film at Concordia University, chasing a lifelong love for telling important stories and weird dreams. After years of experimenting with short films and visual language, they co-directed their first feature-length film (Caio, 2024) with creative partner Clar Kowarick. The duo is now in the midst of crafting their latest project, 180, a film that reflects their evolving style and shared vision. With every frame, Anita continues to explore what it means to grow, create, and come of age—on and off screen.
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.
