About the .FILM domain
What is the .FILM domain?
Registration requires meeting two eligibility criteria simultaneously. The first requires the applicant to be actively connected to the film industry: producers, distributors, sales agents, studios, directors, screenwriters, photographers, technicians, actors, specialized press, film festivals, and industry associations, or providers of products or services to this industry, such as lawyers, agents, PR and marketing firms, financiers, designers, equipment suppliers, domain registrars, or hosting and technology providers. The second criterion requires the applicant to have a close connection to the requested domain name itself: it can be based on their personal or company name, a product or service they offer, the title of a film they hold rights to (screenplay, production, or distribution rights), the name of an event they organize, or the profession they practice within the sector. Applicants must provide evidence of their involvement in the industry, such as professional credentials or documented proof of their work.
