Biography from TheMovieDB

Alessandro Gogna is an Italian mountaineer, mountaineering historian, and mountain guide, born on July 29, 1946, in Genoa, Italy. He is recognized as one of the major figures in Italian mountaineering, having marked the transition between classical mountaineering and modern climbing.  Since the late 1960s, Gogna made several first ascents, notably solo and in winter conditions. Among his most notable achievements: 1968: First winter ascent of the northeast face of Piz Badile; 1968: First solo ascent of the Walker Spur on the Grandes Jorasses; 1969: First winter ascent of the Spiders' Route on the Grand Capucin; 1970: New route on the Marmolada di Rocca; 1972: South Face of the Grandes Jorasses; 1981: First ascent of the Aguglia di Goloritzè in Sardinia, contributing to the development of the Selvaggio Blu trekking route.  Gogna has also participated in several international expeditions: 1973: Attempt on Annapurna, 1975: Expedition to the South Face of Lhotse, led by Riccardo Cassin, 1979: Expedition to K2, via the Abruzzi Spur...  In addition to his work as a mountaineer, Gogna is a lecturer, writer, and environmental consultant. He has published several books on mountaineering and mountain conservation. He is also one of the founders and guarantors of Mountain Wilderness, an organization dedicated to the protection of natural areas.

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.
