After Kushan’s Pars Film Studio, many film production companies were formed, and many films produced. The great majority of these films were modeled on silent film genres, melodramas, situation comedies and adventure films. Co-productions between countries, like The Farewell (China/USA), highlight global storytelling partnerships.
Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other platforms have made world cinema accessible to global audiences, allowing films like Roma (Mexico) and Squid Game (South Korea, though a series) to achieve international recognition. Many filmmakers use cinema to highlight pressing social and political issues, from gender equality to environmental concerns.
