• For films, usually the director should be credited as the author. If the director is unknown, however, someone in a similar role can be credited instead to aid readers in retrieving the work (e.g., the Batalibasi & Pa’apa’a example above). The description of role in this case matches what is on the work and is flexible.
• It is unnecessary to specify how you watched a film (in a theatre, on DVD, streaming online).
  • All the same, when you need to specify the version used (e.g., when the film’s DVD release includes a commentary or special feature that you used), the format or other descriptive information may be included. Put this information within the [ ] after the word “Film” and a semicolon, for example [Film; DVD] or [Film; educational DVD] and so on. Adjust the wording as needed.
