Biography from TheMovieDB

Sear, whose real name is Stéphane Begoc, born in 1968 to a Kabyle father and a Yugoslav mother, is a French journalist, director and hip-hop activist, originally from Franc-Moisin (93).  Close to the IZB crew at the end of the 1980s, he was the editor-in-chief of the hip-hop paper fanzine "Get Busy" published between 1990 and 1993. Visionary, courageous and often against the grain, "Get Busy" has a common thread: his tone. Free, insolent, arrogant, terribly funny and cynical, always concerned about its independence, the magazine will take on different forms of media, paper, video, podcast... In parallel with the "Get Busy" adventure, Sear is recruited by the management of the group Suprême NTM as part of the release of their latest eponymous album "Suprême NTM". To support the release of this album, Sear will take care of the free magazine "Authentik", borrowing the name of the group's first studio album and published in 100,000 copies per issue, then the documentary "Authentiques", co-directed with Alain Chabat and released directly on DVD in 2000. "Get Busy" reappeared in the early 2000s under a new formula mixing hip-hop and social issues. The magazine's activity stopped after 7 issues in 2002.  On April 5, 2014, he published a book entitled "Interdit Aux Bâtards", a compilation of punchlines from his Facebook statuses and published by Le Gri-Gri international. The era of hip-hop print media being over, an online and self-produced version of "Get Busy", called "Get Busy Show" was launched as a podcast in 2017, then on video he performed alongside Real Muzul . From 2019, the show is produced by the Clique TV channel, managed by Mouloud Achour under a new format "Clique Get Busy", before changing medium again. In 2021, Sear publishes "Get Busy - The Ultimate Magazine Anthology", an anthology celebrating thirty years of sporadic and memorable publications from the cult magazine.

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.
