Can I submit my film?
The UK Films Database includes UK produced and UK co-produced films.

We include completed feature-length films and feature-length films that are announced as being in pre-production, production or post-production.


We only include completed short films.

Film images
For all completed films we need a still (not a poster) from the film.
Stills must be .jpg files and ideally 576 x 325 pixels. For larger images please make sure to click 'crop and upload' after uploading your image.
If we don't receive a still for a COMPLETED film, we can't publish your submission.
If you don't yet have stills because your feature-length film is in pre-production, production or post production, you can upload credit details without images, and add images later. Please contact us via films@britishcouncil.org later to make these image updates.

Editing your entry
Once your film is listed in the database, you can suggest changes and updates by mailing us at films@britishcouncil.org.

The British Council has editorial control over all database entries and may update or remove listings.

IMDB
We do not publish links to IMDB entries.

Production & Sales Details
Contact information - A name and at least an email must be provided in the Production Company and/or Sales Agent sections (this could be the producer or director's contacts). These details will be published online.
If you don't provide this information, we can't list your film.
