Fiji only began producing its own feature films in 2004, and has produced just one to date. Vilsoni Hereniko's ''The Land Has Eyes'' (2004) is set in Rotuma and stars indigenous Rotuman actress Sapeta Taito in her début role, alongside New Zealand actress Rena Owen.〔(Films from Fiji ) on IMDB〕〔''(The Land Has Eyes )'', official website〕 2004 was also the year in which the film ''Reel Paradise'' (United States) was produced. The film depicts the true story of an American, John Pierson, setting up a cinema to show films free of charge in Fiji.〔''(Reel Paradise )'', official website〕〔(Review of ''Reel Paradise'' ) in the ''New York Times''〕 ''Boot Camp'' (2007), starring Mila Kunis and Peter Stormare, is partly set in Fiji, but is not a Fiji-made film. Although Fiji has only ever produced one film, the Fiji Audio Visual Commission aims to attract foreign film-makers and incite them to use the country as a setting. The Commission stated in July 2008 that it hoped Fiji would become known as "Bulawood", the Hollywood of the South Seas.〔("Fiji to be the South Pacific Hollywood" ), Fiji Broadcasting Corporation, July 25, 2008. "Bula" is a Fijian greeting.〕 Fiji has a large ethnic Indian minority, and Bollywood films are popular both among Indo-Fijians and indigenous Fijians, with some being dubbed in Fijian.〔LAL, Brij, ''Islands of Turmoil'', ISBN 0-7315-3751-3, p.ix〕 ==See also== * Cinema of the world * World cinema * List of Oceania films 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cinema of Fiji」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
