Simple file upload page not working

I'm trying to add a simple file upload page on my site. Whenever I submit the form, it says "This field is required" above the file selector, as if it's not passing it. Here is my form, model, and view.

forms.py

from django import forms
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

class UploadFileForm(forms.Form):

    MURRMACMOD = "MMM"
    CUBE67 = "C67"
    CUBE20 = "C20"
    VDINCONN = "VDC"
    IMPACT20 = "I20"
    IMPACT67 = "I67"
    CAT_CHOICES = (
        (MURRMACMOD, 'Murrelektronik Mac Module'),
        (CUBE67, 'Cube67/Cube67'),
        (CUBE20, 'Cube20'),
        (VDINCONN, 'Valve DIN Connectors'),
        (IMPACT20, 'Impact 20'),
        (IMPACT67, 'Impact 67')
    )

    article = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
    title = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
    file = forms.FileField()
    cat = forms.ChoiceField(choices=CAT_CHOICES)

models.py

from django.db import models

class File(models.Model):

    article = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    file = models.FileField()
    cat = models.CharField()

views.py

from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.template import RequestContext

from files.forms import UploadFileForm

def upload_file(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UploadFileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return HttpResponseRedirect('/success/url/')
    else:
        form = UploadFileForm()

    ctxt_dict = {
        'form': form,
    }
    context = RequestContext(request, ctxt_dict)
    return render_to_response('upload.html', context_instance=context)

I would love some help guys, thanks.

EDIT: Here is the template.

{% if user.is_staff %}
<form action="." method="post">{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
{% else %}
{% endif %}
</form>

In Django Template , if you are trying to render a form that has a filefield . You must pass replace

form method="post" action="">

with

form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">

loop over forms in formset and a list at same time + FileField required error :django
