Fiji’s Audio-Visual and Film industry has shown great growth potential and is increasingly becoming a critical industry.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Professor Biman Prasad highlighted this at the premiere launch of a locally shot and produced movie ‘Langha Phobia’ themed “Trust and respect in a marriage” at Life Cinema in Nakasi.

Prof Prasad says Fiji is becoming one of the preferred production locations in the world as Fiji is well-known for its islands, sea life, culture and heritage.

He says every movie by Vimal Reddy has an authentic Fijian flavour with strong social messages that resonate with the local audience, culture and breaking barriers in society.

He also acknowledged the Director, Producer and the entire cast and crew for their collective efforts, dedication, and hard work in bringing the vision to life.

Deputy Prime Minister further says one of the key priorities of the coalition government is to encourage local talent through education and training.
