Explain

  • Give the director, producer, and other relevant contributors, followed by the year of the film’s release.

  • After the title, in brackets give the medium: “Motion picture,” “DVD,” “videocassette,” and so on.

  • For most films, give the country where the film was made and the studio.

  • If the original release date is different from the date of the version you are citing, add “Original release” and that date in parentheses at the end of the entry.

  • If the film would be difficult for your readers to find, include the name and address of its distributor instead of the country and studio.
