Registration

The registration process is simple. Go to groups.fm4f.org, enter your email address in the registration form and check your inbox. To ensure that the groups remain a place for professional filmmakers, we will review your registration and activate your account within a few minutes to a few days.

Spaces

The Groups use a concept called Spaces to categories posts depending on their topic. You can think of them as groups like on certain other social networks. 

To see a list of all available spaces, press the Directory button in the navigation bar.

Using the Knowledge Hub

Concept

Think of the Knowledge Hub as a library. We have shelves and, of course, books filled with chapters and pages. However, there is one peculiarity! A single book can be on several shelves at the same time, if it thematically fit into several areas.

Access 

To register an account and start adding books and shelves visit the registration page and fill out the form. Make sure to check your mailbox to verify your email address and you can start editing right away! However, before doing so, be sure to read the books on the shelf Information for Editors (link only works if you are logged in).
