Filmski režiser
Filmski režiser (reditelj ili redatelj) ili samo režiser je osoba koja vodi proces snimanja filma (odn. režiju filma), koordinira rad na filmu te glumcima daje upute o željenom načinu glume u pojedinim scenama.
Režiser također može sudjelovati u procesima castinga, uređivanja ili zamjene pojedinih dijelova scenarija, kao i u određivanju kuteva snimanja te uređivanju filma za njegovu konačnu verziju.
Uobičajeno je da režiser ima potpunu kontrolu nad svim aspektima filma, ali nije rijetkost da mora udovoljiti zahtjevima producenta i(li) filmskog studija. Režiser većih produkcija najčešće pomoćnoj ekipi (engl.: second unit) prepušta režiju manje važnih scena.
Ženska osoba koja režira film naziva se (filmska) režiserka (redateljica, rediteljica).
