This database is being constantly maintained to bring you biographies and up-to-date filmographies of contemporary British feature film directors.

We have recently updated this Directory with revised criteria for entry. To be listed in the Directory of Directors now, you will need to have directed at least one feature film which has received a UK theatrical release, or which has been screened at an FIAPF accredited festival - you can find these highlighted in our Directory of International Film and Video Festivals, or check on the FIAPF website. If you’re a British director who fits the criteria, please email us your filmography including years of production, agent details, awards, website links and a photo of yourself to: arts@britishcouncil.org.

We aim to make this database as comprehensive and accurate as possible but mistakes are always possible. If you're a filmmaker and we've done you an injustice, contact us on the email address above or phone +44 (0)20 7389 3051 and we'll rectify it. No lawyers!

You may use the search box to search on all or part of a director's name, or the title of a film or television programme. For a more specific search, try the 'Advanced search' page.
