A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Željko Stanetić does not shy away from less-discussed topics about our wartime pasts, topics met with more silence than others. A longtime activist from Novi Sad, Stanetić worked on issues of population displacement at the Vojvodina Civic Center, a nongovernmental organization. He made the documentary film “Nepodobni građani” — Citizens Out of Favor — about the Croat population’s expulsion from Vojvodina. “Milena” is his first fiction film, and premiered at the March Festival in Belgrade. It was also screened in Los Angeles and the Sarajevo Film Festival. Beyond his work as a filmmaker, Stanetić has worked with the Coalition for RECOM, a network of nongovernmental organizations from across the Balkans who advocate for the formation of a commission that would systematically interrogate all war crimes and human rights violations that occurred across former Yugoslavia from 1991 through 2001.
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.
