A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Gaëlle Cintré is an award-winning French filmmaker and producer with unique experience and insight into developing creative packages for both North American and European productions. After her Master's dissertation exploring the effects of digital technologies on cinema narratives, she became the first graduate of the European School of Visual Arts' doctoral program, earning her PhD in Documentary Arts and Visual Media. Her work has been presented across Europe, including at the Lyon Biennale, David Lynch's Silencio in Paris, Middlemarch Gallery in Brussels, and the Center of Photography in Geneva. Her documentary ZONE BLANCHE has screened at many international festivals, including at the International Environmental Film Festival in Paris, Mojito Kino in Berlin, DOC NYC in Manhattan, the Chicago Underground Film Festival, and the Trento Film Festival in Italy. ZONE BLANCHE won the Pézieux Prize in France and the Jury's Artistic Vision Award at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival in Missoula, Montana. Her research has led her to lecture on filmmaking, digital media, and cinematic storytelling at prestigious institutions across Europe, such as the National Institute of Art History in Paris, the New Sorbonne University and the University of Paris 8, and the European School of Visual Arts. On several occasions, she was also invited to speak at ministerial and academic symposiums about the stakes of academic and artistic research for post-graduate and doctoral programs. As an independent producer, she has overseen the creative development, budget and packaging of several feature film and streaming series projects, which have been optioned to several production companies. DELTA-V, which she creatively developed together with the project's creators, won the Sundance Institute and Alfred P. Sloan Foundation episodic storytelling grant. Gaëlle currently splits her time between France, the US, and Singapore.
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.
