Add your UK film to our database

Submit details about your film to our database to help others find your work.

Our UK film database provides a comprehensive listing of UK feature films and completed short films that have, or are on their way to having theatrical or festival distribution.

It's the perfect place for programmers looking for UK films for their festival or cinema, for filmmakers to find collaborators, and for anyone looking to find out more about what UK film looks like.

Criteria for submission

To appear in the database, your film must be either a British production or co-production as defined by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and the British Film Institute (BFI).

Read the BFI's definition of what constitutes a British film.

Types of films included

• Feature films (pre-production, production, post-production and completed).
• Completed short films.
• Our database does not generally include corporate or commissioned information films, television series, or music videos.

Film images

• Stills must be JPG or PNG files and at least 750 x 421 pixels. Please make sure to press 'crop and upload'. If we don't receive a still for your completed film, we can't publish your submission.
• If you don't yet have stills because your film is in production / pre-production, you can upload details without and add images later.

Editing your entry

Once your film is listed in the database, you will be able to suggest changes and updates by using the contact form link.

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

The 'Contact' information at the bottom of the form is for our internal use only and won't be published.

Submitted a film and it isn't in the database?

We check submissions and post entries regularly. We won't publish entries without sufficient information, including contact details for production company and/or sales agent. For completed films we won't publish entries without a still (we require a film still, not a poster).
