A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
In the artistic market for over 20 years, Ander Simões is a director, producer, writer, actor and screenwriter, having been responsible for the creation, direction and production of artistic projects. Some of his works are the audiovisual performance "Benjamin - Performance Manifesto"; the videoart “Caminho Noir"; the experimental mini-doc "No Caminho - Junho de 2013", the shows "Sô não, Sô?" and "O Contador de Histórias e os Anjos da Última Flor", in addition to video art and other works. He developed his body techniques and actor directing through laboratory and research in the methodologies of Jerzy Grotowski, working with director Jadranka Andjelic (DAH Theater - Serbia), disciple of Eugenio Barba and Torgeir Wethal (Odin Teatret - Denmark) and through Yoga practice.

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.
