Submitting a film

When you are submitting programmes for consideration, please ensure:

  • You own the relevant rights and are legally permitted to enter into an agreement licensing them to us. Don’t worry if you can’t licence the film world-wide, as we can geo-filter out territories where it shouldn’t be seen.
  • You can provide a high-quality DVD (minimum), DVCAM or Digibeta copy of the programme.
  • You can provide a synopsis, high-resolution digital stills, a trailer and other marketing materials for us to promote your film.
  • For video-on-demand, all video and music is cleared to enable you to show the documentary in a broadband environment for a minimum of one year.
