Francisco Ríos Telles (born September 4, 2001) is a film director, screenwriter, and editor. He is originally from Lima, Peru, and is the son of philosopher and writer Arturo Ríos and psychologist Elena Telles. He graduated from the Peruvian School of Cinematographic Industry in 2023. He is known for telling stories in the fantasy genre. In his work, he seeks to reflect the loneliness of his characters, whose goal is often to find something or someone that makes them feel less alone. Additionally, the figure of the "Individual" vs. the "System" is always present. Fantasy is a key pillar of his filmography, as he uses this canvas to have the freedom to employ metaphors and take his stories to a more conceptual level.

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.
