Note: Feature-length television films are usually created in the film section. Release year could be premiere on tv or festival premiere.
Country Heading
Indicates the country of production. All the possible options can be found in a drop-down list (available by clicking on the  button). You can also enter the appropriate abbreviation or a combination. Non-valid terms are not accepted and displayed in red.
In the case of co-productions mention all co-producing countries. To combine several abbreviations, use the ‘|’ separator key: e.g. BE|FR will be automatically converted to Belgium / France. Non-valid terms are not accepted and displayed in red.
Release Year
Indicates the year of first public showing, in many cases the screening at a festival.
If the year of first public showing differs by three years or more from the year of production add the year of production in square brackets. e.g. 1996 [prod.1990]
Note: The Imdb database offers useful information on the first release of a film.
Director (Film) Heading
The director’s name is linked to another authority database: the Director (Film) Database.
Caution: always check if the appropriate heading already exists in the controlled index. If you are certain that the heading is not in the list, you can create a new one. See ‘How to create a new heading’, p. 11.
Enter the director’s full name in lower case: last name followed by first name, separated by a comma and a space.
Example of a drop-down list following a search for ‘lynch’:
Note that non-preferred entries are included in the drop-down list: e.g. Sierck, Detlev. If you select a non-preferred term, it will automatically be replaced by the preferred one: e.g. Sierck, Detlev will be replaced by Sirk, Douglas.
If you need to create more than one director, click on the button, which creates an additional line in this field.
How to create a new director:
Click on Create New Term which opens the following screen:
Enter the director’s full name in lower case: last name followed by first name, separated by a comma and a space.
Caution: you must ALWAYS fill in the Published As field (first name followed by last name) so that the director’s name will be displayed correctly in the full film description heading.
See the authority record for Hitchcock with the linked films. Note the display of the director’s name in the film headings (generated by the Published As field).
Caution: if a film has many directors (more than six) mention the first three (in order of appearance) + Others. If there are only four/five/six directors, give them all.
How to create an alternative film title
It is possible to create a non-preferred title linked to a film you created. This can be useful in the case of English titles for non-English language films.
Note: This is not possible for films created by another indexer.
Open the record of the preferred film heading (e.g. WEISSE BAND, DAS), and click on Used For. A new pop-up window opens (New Used For relation).
Click on New to open a new screen (displaying an empty film record). Enter the alternative title in the Film/TV Title field (e.g. WHITE RIBBON, THE) and save. The newly created film title is automatically selected and proposed as a new relation:
Click on the proposed title: e.g. WHITE RIBBON. The pop-up window disappears and you are asked if you want to add this relation.
Clicking on Yes will add the relation:
