And now, we're launching the second contest. Foreign cinema.

We all watch films in our native languages and also films made in our second language.

But the world of cinema is vast and there are numerous prolific film industries around the world.

Naturally, we have hardly any intimacy with them. But it doesn't have to be so. We should also see films from all around the world.

I understand the reluctance

The language barrier is quite intimidating, but as someone who has seen films from every industry, let me assure you, once you start watching them, soon you won't notice the language difference at all! Cinema is a visual art form after all!

True, reading the subtitle takes some practice, but consider this —
There are gems in every industry, we're only doing us a great disservice by not trying them out!

Now, what is foreign might be subjective.
If you're from the US, anything made out of the US is foreign to you.
But it's not that simple in other cases as people from all over the world have some basic understanding of English and watch Hollywood stuff. For example, I know for a fact, many south Asians think of European cinema when they think foreign, not Hollywood.

The point is, you only know what is foreign to you, so it's up to you what you choose!

Contest #2: Foreign Cinema

Write about your unforgettable experience with a foreign language cinema (or TV etc).

Evaluation and Some Tips

Posts containing only the plot will be disregarded.
You can use these prompts as a helping hand but you're free to go however you want.
► The language barrier and how did you conquer it.
► What you loved or hated about it (movie, tv, etc).
► What is the prime difference in comparison to your native cinema.
► What part of it you found most interesting.
► Any particular perks of the foreign film that you don't see in your native cinema.
► The difference in the Filmmaking process the foreign cinema incorporates.

You're free to include multiple films/shows in your entry.
There's no need to be mechanical. Write with a free hand. We might overlook if you forget to do a step or two stated in the rules (except the first one).

We'll evaluate the posts based on the writing quality, title selection, sincerity, and faithfulness to the spirit of the contest.

The winners will be announced on 2nd July and new contest will be announced promptly.

Happy Writing then! Blog on!

Hey everyone, here is my entry for the contest. I chose one of the works that Brazilian cinema could bring us, an exquisite film that plans the rawness and reality through it.

I consider Asian productions very foreign to me but in the past couple of years I have started to really enjoy the anime genre. One of the best anime films I have watched is Your Name, so I figured it was a good idea to write about it. Hope I can convince some readers to give a watch to this film :P https://www.cinetv.io/hive-121744/@dedicatedguy/cinetv-contest-foreign-cinema-your-name-is-an-unforgettable-romantic-anime-film

I really like this community, but I find it an act of exclusion that only posts from native English speakers are allowed, when some translators do an amazing job and I as an English student make them look more natural.

Hopefully You all will decide to be more inclusive, in the meantime I'm afraid I won't be uploading content to Cinetv.

I think you misunderstood. Translated posts are fine as long as the author wrote it and translated it himself/herself manually— and did not use any automated app or bot like deepl.

Also writing the post in English, being a non-native speaker, is also perfectly fine.

I'm not a native English speaker, by the way.

I was unclear about that rule too. Maybe it needs to be reworded.
