Who can register .FILM domains?

There are two scenarios where an applicant or registrant is eligible to register a .FILM domain name:

• The applicant or registrant must be a member of an approved association, body or union and closely connected to the domain name.
• If the domain name is a film title, the applicant or registrant must be a member of an approved association, body or union and hold rights to the exact matching film title.
