Python - Selenium webdriver timeout exception error

Question

my goal is to access the IMDB site from a different website and try to get movie genres.

I can do this when I use the direct Xpath of the IMDB button on the website I redirected. driver.get("http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118564/")

However, when I do it in the code I want to use for a loop, it gives a TimeoutException error.

i = 3

driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div/div[2]/div[1]/p[{}]/a".format(i)).click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div/div[2]/div[1]/p[1]/a").click()

What am I doing wrong?

NOTE: IMDB page of the movie genres I want to get: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118564/

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
import selenium.common.exceptions as selexcept
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

genres0, genres1, genres2, genres3 = "","","",""

driver = webdriver.Chrome()


driver.get("https://sfy.ru/scripts") # main website


#driver.get("http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118564/") # website for genres


i = 3

driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div/div[2]/div[1]/p[{}]/a".format(i)).click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div/div[2]/div[1]/p[1]/a").click()


genres = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//h4[.='Genres:']/following-sibling::a")))
print(", ".join([genre.text for genre in genres]))



print(genres)
