MLA Style  Documentary films are cited as follows: Title (underlined or italicized); director, first name first; distributor; and year. Charlie's Legacy: The Last Days of an AIDS Victim. Dir. Frank Charles. Universal, 1990. Videos have a variety of formats. For a rented film, or one seen in class, cite it with the title, underlined or italicized; director or producer; the medium — videocassette — neither underlined nor in quotation marks; distributor; and year. Smoking and Young Mothers. Prod. Dartmouth Medical School. Videocassette. Dartmouth Educational Services, 1990. If you saw the video on TV, however, you cite as you would any other TV show. Medicine and Me. Prod. Channel 3/WKYC. Videocasette. NBC Affiliate Videos, 1993. APA Style  APA does not have a video citation, per se. They do have a documentary film citation: Marx, G. (Producer) and Anderson, G. (Director). (1998). The Rules of Depression [Film]. (Available from Dartmouth Medical School Films, Dartmouth College, Hanover NH 03755) (Note: you can put "video" in the brackets, if you're working with video.)
