Hadi Farahmand

Hadi Farahmand is a composer, producer, and Film distributor born in Tehran in 1986. After graduating in classical music composition from Tehran Art University in 2013, he embarked on an enriching chapter in Italy, where he started the study of Musicologia at Milan University. His exploration extended to the ambient of electronic music at the electronic music school in the renowned Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi di Milano. Since 2014, Hadi has been an active participant in various artistic projects in Milan, leaving an indelible mark through endeavors such as "Barbablù e Gli Altri" (2016), a captivating musical show performed at the Museo del Novecento, Milan, and "Krapp's Last Tape" (2017), a collaborative production with director and playwright Corrado Accordino staged at Teatro Binnario 7 in Monza, Italy.  Beyond his role as a journalist and editor with Spettacolo News, an online art journal in Rome, his scholarly pursuits came to fruition in the form of the essay "Musica e danza nel cinema Iraniana prima della Rivoluzione: il caso del Filmfarsi." Co-authored with Emilio Sala, this piece delves into the intricate intersections of Iranian music and cinema, published in July 2020 in the esteemed Musica e Realtà, founded by Luigi Pestalozza. The producer and composer of the soundtrack of the short film Zaqqum, The Tree Of Hell(2022), Home(2024), and Manuscripts(2024), Hadi Farahmand, unveiling his penchant for electronic music, continued his sonic exploration with the single "Strait of Hormuz," a captivating composition presented at the Siids 2020 Symposium Festival in Portugal.

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.
