## Using our Groups

### Registration

The registration process is simple. Go to [groups.fm4f.org](https://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.
