WikiProject Film is a WikiProject dedicated to building comprehensive and detailed articles on Wikipedia about topics related to films. Please feel free to add yourself to the project.


 * Goals
 * To standardize the film articles in Wikipedia
 * To improve Wikipedia coverage of films by adding, expanding and improving film articles
 * To serve as a central point of discussion for issues related to Wikipedia film articles
 * To provide the necessary framework to assist in bringing all articles within the project scope to the highest possible quality

The project generally considers all articles directly related to film to be within its scope. However, for present organizational reasons (as of October 2007), the project does not include articles about actors, directors and filmmakers; those are in the scope of the Biography WikiProject, most especially the Actors and Filmmakers and Screenwriters projects thereof. (Future tagging of bio articles relevant to specific task forces may be a future extension, however.)
 * Scope

Due to the size, scope and number of interested editors working on articles, the project has added several additional structures to keep the work organized:
 * Organization
 * Coordinators in charge of project organization and administration
 * Departments for specialized tasks across the whole of the project
 * Task forces to allow collaboration amongst editors interested in specific topics within the project-wide scope

Scope
As noted above, the project generally considers any article directly relevant to films to be within its scope.

Our primary work is concentrated in a number of broad areas:
 * Films and film series
 * Film characters
 * Companies and organizations of note with a substantial relevance to films, including equipment suppliers, production companies, archives, institutes and educational facilities.
 * Film awards, including individual ceremonies, award categories, and winner or nominee lists.
 * Film festivals, including invididual instances and ancillary bodies.
 * Film equipment, technology, practice, and terminology.
 * Significant historical locations and structures primarily used for filmmaking or exhibition.
 * Film studies topics and notable film critics, theorists, and researchers.
 * Genres, types, movements and periods of film; the cinematic histories of particular nations, regions and groups.

Guidelines
The following are specific guidelines for articles within the scope of this WikiProject (in order of consideration for editors creating articles):
 * Film notability
 * Naming conventions for films
 * Style guide - Currently, this page only covers articles about individual films. We expect to create additional style guides in the near future for other types of film-related articles, in consultation with the relevant task forces.
 * Film infobox
