Cinema With Purpose – Regional And culturally linguistic Films

There is an untapped demand for cultural films, which are steadily finding their way to the public’s attention these days. These films don’t have a lot of star power or a lot of money invested in them. Strong plots, good storylines, and effects are what they’re all about. In this cinematic genre, significant themes and groundbreaking treatment can be seen. Such films assist in the preservation and promotion of various cultures and traditions. India is a country with many different cultures, which change with each step one takes. Similarly, the birthplaces of the Renaissance were Italy and Rome. Regional cinema movies can immortalize different cultures, languages, dance styles, and other art forms. This is why it is also crucial to begin moving slowly through the filmmaking process for these types. This is why linguistic films are often called “Cinema with a Meaning.”

Bollywood films and regional cinema in India have always been a source of pride for Indians. Previously, most films from our country that were submitted to foreign film festivals were inferior to those from France, Italy, or Greece. These countries would send out films that had a strong emotional effect on the audience rather than the most common ones . With every mainstream filmmaker’s attention now being on making a 200cr or 300cr film and smashing box office records, rather than making meaningful cinema, maybe now is the time to give regional films a chance to shine.

Regional films, without a doubt, illustrate true filmmaking skills in the entire process. With two exceptions – Paan Singh Tomar in 2012 and Ship of Theseus in 2013, the National Award winners for Best Feature Film over the last decade have all been regional films. Since 2011, India’s official entries to the Oscars have been non-Hindi films – Abu, Son of Adam (Malayalam), The Good Road (Gujarati), and Court (Marathi). Regional films can also help a filmmaker interact with their audience more effectively. A film in a person’s mother tongue will have a much greater effect on him than one in a national language since the audience will be able to communicate with it more easily.

Take a moment from Hollywood and Bollywood and consider the numerous motion picture industries worldwide. The roots of regional cinema in China can be traced back to 1896. The film industry has expanded significantly over the last ten years, and as of 2013, China was the world’s second-largest film market by box office receipts. The Nigerian film industry, also known as Nollywood, is another significant part of world cinema. In terms of production, it is the second-largest film industry, and in terms of sales, it is the third-largest. The Iranian film industry, known as Cinema of Persia, produces a significant number of commercial films each year. Iranian art films have earned international acclaim in recent years, and they now have a worldwide audience. Turkey’s film industry is based in Yesilcam. It is the European Union’s second-largest city. In 2014, the Turkish film Kis Uykusu (Winter’s Sleep) received the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Film.

Argentina, Nepal, Bangladesh, Korea, and Pakistan are only a few of the many countries with regional cinema movies industries that need to be taken out of the shadows and onto a global stage. It is important to break the habit of only seeing blockbuster or high-budget movies as ‘films.’ Try to break away from the pop-culture bubble and engage in something different than the normal fare, both in terms of watching and producing films.
