Especially for your both image and xml_file fields can be access by using request.FILES[key_name]. the form.cleaned_data only used for non-file payloads.

for example in your case should be:

if form.is_valid():
    image = request.FILES['image']
    xml_file = request.FILES['xml_file']
    description = form.cleaned_data['description']

For more information about it, you can directly check to this docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/
