Hassan Kachach (Arabic: حسن كشاش), born in Constantine, is an Algerian actor and doctor. He is known for his role as Mostefa Ben Boulaïd in the film Mostefa Ben Boulaïd, as well as in the television series El Khawa (الخاوة). In 2019, he played the role of Taher (الطاهر) in the Tunisian-Algerian series Machā`ir (مشاعر). Hassan Kachach studied medicine and practiced for a while before director Ahmed Rachedi offered him a role in his film C'était la guerre. He replied: "There is a common denominator between medicine and representation: the first deals with the soul and the spirit, and the second deals with the soul, the spirit and the common cause: the human being. » The director laughed and accepted his participation in the film. Then, he worked with director Mohamed Chouikh in the film The Ark of the Desert in 1997. Hassan Kachach has become one of the cinematic faces that have influenced the Algerian public in recent times. He became known to the Algerian public in the film, Mostefa Ben Boulaïd, as well as in several works in cinema and television. He starred in the Tunisian-Algerian film The Wounded Palms in 2010, directed by Tunisian filmmaker Abdellatif Ben Ammar, but also in the series Aïssat Idir.
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.
