New Nigerian Cinema New Nigerian Cinema (also known as New Wave or controversially as New Nollywood) is an emerging phase in Nigerian cinema, in which there became a major shift in the method of film production, from the video format, which came about during the video boom, back to the cinema method, which constituted the films produced in the Golden era of Nigerian cinema history. The films in the New Wave are specifically characterized by improved narrative complexity, aesthetic nuance, much higher budgets and advanced overall production values, when compared to video films from the second generation of filmmakers. They are mostly released theatrically, although some are still released directly on DVD.

Gujarati cinema The Gujarati cinema, informally referred to as Dhollywood or Gollywood, has produced more than one thousand films since its inception. It is one of the major regional and vernacular film industries of the cinema of India associated with the Gujarati language. During the silent film era, many individuals in the industry were Gujaratis. The language-associated industry dates back to 1932, when the first Gujarati talkie, "Narsinh Mehta", was released. After flourishing through the 1960s–1980s, the industry saw a decline through 2000 when the number of new films dropped below twenty. The industry has been partially revived in the 2010s due first to rural demand, and later to an influx of new technology and urban subjects in films. In 2005 the Government of Gujarat announced a 100% entertainment tax exemption for Gujarati films, and in 2016 a policy of incentives.
