Biography from TheMovieDB

Tamir Anshtein is an award-winning Australian-Jewish filmmaker known for his thought-provoking films that explore personal Jewish history and the Soviet refugee experience. Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, he moved to Australia at the age of seven. His work is deeply influenced by his family's untold stories and the literary traditions of Soviet-era Jewish and non-Jewish writers, aiming to universalize the experience of Jews & Russian Jewish refugees.  Anshtein's films have received international recognition. Trial and Error (2022), a Holocaust film told from a Nazi's perspective, was a finalist at the Cannes World Film Festival and the Papa International Historical Film Festival, and was featured in publication FilmInk. His short film Old Faces (2024) was selected for the Lift-Off Filmmaker Sessions, and Levadia International Film Festival (L.I.F.F.). Someone Important (2024), was also selected for Lift-Off Filmmaker Sessions. His films have played in French, Hungarian, English and Greek cinemas.  With a bold storytelling style, Anshtein continues to craft narratives that challenge perspectives and shed light on forgotten histories.

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.

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.
