A
filmography is a
list of films related by some criteria. For example, an actor's career filmography is the list of films he or she has appeared in; a director's comedy filmography is the list of
comedy films directed by a particular
director. The term, which has been in use since at least 1957, is modeled on and analogous to "
bibliography", a list of books, and is distinct from "
videography" and "
cinematography", two
mass nouns for processes within the cinematic arts.
