Malayalam cinema is a part of Indian Cinema based in Kerala dedicated to the production of motion pictures in the Malayalam language. It is also known by the nickname Mollywood. At first (beginning in the 1920s), the Malayalam film industry was based in Trivandrum, although the film industry started to develop and flourish only by the late 1940s. Later, the industry shifted to Chennai (formerly Madras), which then was the capital of the South Indian film industry. By the end of 80s, the Malayalam film industry returned and established itself in Kerala〔(official website of INFORMATION AND PUBLIC RELATION DEPARTMENT ). Prd.kerala.gov.in. Retrieved on 2013-07-29.〕 with a major chunk of locations, studios, production and post-production facilities in Kochi and Trivandrum. Several media sources〔Viswanath, Chandrakanth. (2013-01-29) (Kochi sizzling onscreen ). ''The New Indian Express''. Retrieved on 2013-07-29.〕〔(Veedu | ). Manorama Online (2013-05-23). Retrieved on 2013-07-29.〕 describe Kochi as the hub of the film industry, while Kerala government publications〔http://www.old.kerala.gov.in/district_handbook/tvm_handbook.pdf〕 state that Trivandrum is the centre. The first 3D film produced in India, ''My Dear Kuttichathan'' (1984), was made in Malayalam. The first CinemaScope film produced in Malayalam was ''Thacholi Ambu'' (1978). The world's first film with just one actor in the cast was the Malayalam film ''The Guard'' (2001). Rajiv Anchal's ''Guru'' (1997) and Salim Ahamed's ''Adaminte Makan Abu'' (2011) are the only Malayalam films to be sent by India as its official entry for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the Academy Awards, though not selected. Films such as ''Piravi'', ''Swaham'', ''Marana Simhasanam'', ''Chemmeen'', ''Mathilukal'' and ''Vanaprastham'' were also screened and won awards at several international film festivals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PIRAVI )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SWAHAM )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MARANA SIMHASANAM )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=100 Years of Indian Cinema: The 100 greatest Indian films of all time )〕 ==History of Malayalam cinema== Active Malayalam film production did not take place until the second half of the 20th century: there were only two silent films, and three Malayalam-language films before 1947.The film industry is also known as mollywood.
