Title Formats

• We use the original title of a movie/show in its original language as it appears on screen in the opening credits.

• We also associate the year of first public screening with each title as an aid to recognizing and distinguishing similar titles.

• For TV titles this is the broadcast year of the first episode. For movie titles this year is either the year of general release or of a festival presentation if earlier. (NOTE: Closed screenings for the crew or the media or test screenings of the unfinished product for marketing reasons do not count as public screenings).

• If two titles have the same title in the same year we add a "/" followed by roman numerals after the year as necessary. 

• ​

• Please note that we do NOT create separate new titles for each season of a TV-show so the year used is the year the show first aired. You may indicate a person's participation in later years of the show by adding them only to the appropriate episodes.
