Self/Actor on Documentaries

Hello. I directed this film https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3495174 which is technically a documentary, but in which none of the actors are playing themselves. All the actors credited on the IMDB page are playing characters that are fictional. This issue had already been resolved previously, but ever since the film was credited again as a documentary, all the actors went back to the "self" list on their respective pages.
Ideally, the film would be classified as both sci-fi and documentary and would appear on each actor's page under "Actor" rather than "Self". The same would apply to this other film https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30794664, which is the exact same situation.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi @carlos_conceicao,

Thank you for your problem report.

Please refer to our Help guide which details how to move these credits from the "Self" section of their filmographies:

You can prevent this by adding the "reenactment" keyword to a title via the Edit page button found at the bottom of the titles page on IMDb. Once approved, any credits for that title should move into the correct section.

I hope this helps!
