How this directory was built
Every entry comes from a list published by a national distributors' association or film institute, fetched on the check date shown on each country page. In the United States, Australia and New Zealand, where independents have no public association list, entries come from 2026 theatrical release schedules (The Numbers, Box Office Mojo), and each company's own site was checked. Poland and Ireland keep their association lists private, so we say so rather than filling the gap from memory. No personal contact details are included.
