Reza Parsa is a Swedish film director. At the age of 22 he was admitted to the 4-year directing program at the legendary National Film School of Denmark (1991–95) and directed the most award-winning (11 awards) graduation film, Never (Gränsen), in the history of the school. To date Reza Parsa has won more than 30 national and international awards, including the Ingmar Bergman Award, the Student Academy Award (Student Oscar) and prizes in Cannes Film Festival, Brasília, Seattle, Chicago and San Sebastian. Before the Storm, Parsa's first feature film, is a suspense thriller which has achieved great critical success and has been sold to 35 countries worldwide, incl. USA. Reza Parsa and his screenwriter Johan Bergman Lindfors, both based in Sweden, are now preparing Parsa’s next feature film.

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.
