MLA Bibliography: Film or Television Sources

Citing Films or Movies: If citing a particular contribution by a specific individual list them first, not the title. Those names would be listed last name then a comma and then the first name, followed by their role in the film. When simply listing a film or movie without a particular emphasis, list the film or movie by title, then identify Director (Dir.) and then Performers (Perf.). List these names first name first, then last name last, place a comma between each name in the list, and a period between each role. 

Triplets of Belleville. Dir. Sylvain Chomet. Sony Pictures Classics, 2003. Film or DVD
