Supporting the Film Industry; Paving the way to a domestic renaissance.

The Long Ash showed many Xsampans the potential of Xsampan made films. Before The Long Ash, the Xsampan Film Industry was... Depressing to say the least. And not in a good way. But The Long Ash has challenged that and many Xsampans are supportive of helping the film Industry. And with a movie about the Bargas Chenpo itself finding huge success, many other directors, writers and producers are interested in taking risky but bold ideas to the big screens. And it's gotten to the point that the state has looked to step in and help. We all know the stereotypes of the state. Micromanaging every aspect of society. That is why the state is looking to avoid that stereotype by sponsoring the creation of the Xsampan Film, Media and Regulation Council. Not a Sub-Committee of the People's Committee of Information, but fully independent. The goal of the XFMR is to obviously not only regulate media to ensure standards, but also protect creative autonomy (where reasonable, we don't want capitalist propaganda disguised as creative risk taking), fund and support studio cooperatives,  and encourage diverse storytelling. The Council will recruit individuals who are experienced in the industry. Artists, film makers, etc, not just bureaucrats. The XFMR will also look to help new stars emerge. It's no secret that Nepali was unknown before The Long Ash. Just how many stories are we missing out on because they aren't given the chance?

Next, Cantons have started to flex their local abilities and various Cantons have started the "Cinema in the Commons" program, looking to promote new films, discuss the symbolism regarding new films, and make films not just an art, but also a critique that is worth being apart of participatory culture. With this being a project enacted by the Cantons and not the state itself, this allows flexibility for each Canton and each CC Program.

Now the biggest question asked has been if Xsampan culture could go abroad. As it stands, it's very rare for Xsampan culture to go abroad. Few diaspora exists outside of Xsampa. There are notable communities, but they are rare. So it's little shock that Xsampan culture is rather underrepresented in the world stage. The Long Ash for example only screened in Xsampa. But the XFMR has shared a goal of bringing Xsampan media abroad. As such, the first thing they have done is begin setting guidelines regarding subtitles. Domestically, all films should have Canrillaise subtitles. This is a no brainer given Canrillaise is a secondary language at this point. But this also allows Xsampan films to be accessible to the Canrille World. Alongside this, filmmaker's will have direct control of how their movies go abroad, if at all. It will take some time to cultivate a thriving film industry, let alone bring it to a renaissance, but it'll be well worth the effort if it means sharing art and Xsampan culture with the world. The Long Ash not only showed new ways for grief to be processed, but it showed that Xsampan films can be viable.
