The Death of Film - Length (Help Needed)
posted by Tralfaz0959STAFFMOD on March 24, 2025 at 10:42 PM
Hello,
I'm a student at West Virginia University and they just announced a few published student projects including Samuel Felinton's 'The Death of Film'. I'm trying to fix the length of it on TMDB but it only allows me to go to 999 minutes, while this film sits as the second-longest film ever at 856 hours (51,360 minutes). How do I go about fixing this?

We don't support A.I. generated movies (see here) or student movies (with some exceptions - see here), so I'm going to remove it. But as for your question, I think there are a few properly released movies (i.e. professionally released, not some student or amateur movie screened only at festivals of independent film or self-released only on services like YouTube) longer than our limit and we have their length as 999 minutes.
