Eight participants undertake this physical and mental ordeal towards the top of the highest mountain in Africa and one of the seven summits. But they are not alone: they are guided by Sofie Lenaerts - herself an experienced mountain climber and the first woman from the Benelux to climb the seven summits - and wildlife cameraman Pim Niesten. Sofie, as an expert by experience, prepares the eight as best as possible for everything involved in mountain climbing, while Pim, as a nature photographer and expert, prepares the participants for the special arena of the mountains and any risks this entails.
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.
