“…In its content and focus, the film narrative contains great potential and a resource that requires deep and comprehensive study. The issue of the effectiveness of the effect of motion pictures has been studied by many researchers (Balabantaray, 2020;Baveye et.al., 2018;De Leeuw, Van der Laan, 2018;Kubrak, 2020;Kyshtymova, 2019;Tan, 2018). Academic literature noted insufficient attention to the perception of the content of visual codes by consumers, which contributed to the fact that the impersonation of a character would assume metaphorical nature (Poznin, 2017); students' uncritical perception of information transmitted via media texts (Kyshtymova, Trofimova, 2018); the role of heroes and victims in the formation of sociocultural identity (Tulchinsky, 2014).…”

The study of the system of moral values of young people using film narrative, which has an effect on the impressions, meanings, significations, attitudes of people and values, human beliefs, treatment of people and values would determine mental health of an individual and psychological well-being of a society as a whole. Teenagers are those most susceptible to the exposure. The novelty of the study was that the evaluation of the impersonations of the characters in a situation of moral choice, transmission of moral values presented in the film narrative, was studied in adolescents without parental oversight, living in residential care facilities for more than 10 years.The methodological foundation of the study was the psychosemiotic approach to content analysis. A toolbox of techniques was used in the study: theoretical analysis, immanent analysis of the film; factorial analysis; a dedicated semantic differential was used to discover the factors revealing the semantics of the impersonations of the characters of the film narrative in a situation of moral collision, and to compare their perception by different groups of teenagers; analysis of letters to the character was carried out using the procedure of content analysis. We proceeded from the assumption that teenagers' perception and semantic evaluation of the characters of the film narrative in the situation of moral choice was determined by their experience of living in the situation of moral choice and conditions of their upbringing; the system of values presented in the film narrative, the situation of moral collision experienced by the characters, determined the perception and semantic evaluation of their impersonations by modern teenagers. The study was carried out on the basis of schools in Irkutsk, facilities for children without parental care (Republic of Buryatia, Irkutsk) (n = 78). 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas' motion picture was used as stimulus material.It was demonstrated that teenagers left without parental care would perceive the characters of the motion picture in positive categories of morality more often than those raised in families. The attitude towards the characters of a movie who were in a situation of moral choice, was determined by the categories of nobility, peacefulness, humanity, tolerance, and piety. The identified differences could be explained by their experience of living in a situation of moral choice, the attitude toward children in situations of living hardships, the individual psychological differences of adolescents. Differences in attitudes could also be seen as the reason for differences in the effectiveness of the impression of the movie. It was substantiated that the situation of moral choice in cinematography served as a tool for shaping moral values.The study sustained the idea of the potential of motion pictures, their effect on shaping moral values of adolescents, complemented the data on the effect of the film narrative on personal development and individual differences in the evaluation of media products.

“…Already, films from Nollywood are exporting Nigerian stories to the world, but there is the need to tell more Nigerian stories that are culturally focused on the diversity and history of its citizens. A look at the foreign film industry like Hollywood will reveal a painstaking effort to constantly expose positive aspects of their culture, cities and ideologies through their storylines and imagery (Balabantaray, 2020;Enahora, 1989). The imagery and stories in these Western movies have shaped the perception of their cities and way of life.…”

Film is a powerful medium that can be used in transmitting different ideologies and preserving cultural values. In the western world, films have been used to strategically positioning foreign culture and selling it subtly on a global scale to other nations who eventually adopt western cultural values. This research investigates the role of film as a medium of preserving and promoting the appreciation of the Nigerian culture locally and globally through the exploration of historical events and local cultures. The methodological framework adopts a qualitative approach, using content analysis in investigating the film, Efunsetan Aniwura. Findings from this research show that films are an effective medium for preserving and transmitting cultural values. It is necessary for the government and stakeholders of the Nigerian film industry to continuously partner in creating and promoting content that educates locals and foreigners about Nigerian culture for the sake of cultural appreciation and posterity.

This study explores the influence of Bollywood movies on the representation of Indian indentured labourers in Mauritian media and culture. The research investigates the ways in which Bollywood movies have impacted the depiction of Indian Indentured labourers in Mauritian society, and how this representation has changed over time. The study utilizes a qualitative method, including questionnaires, relevant literature reviews, and content analysis of popular Bollywood films and Mauritian media. The findings indicate that Bollywood movies have had a significant impact on the representation of Indian indentured labourers in Mauritian media and culture. While earlier representations of indentured labourers in Mauritian media were largely negative and stereotypical, Bollywood movies have played a key role in challenging these stereotypes and promoting a more positive image of the Indian community in Mauritius. The study highlights the importance of media representation in shaping cultural perceptions and argues that Bollywood movies have played a vital role in promoting a more nuanced and positive image of Indian indentured labourers in Mauritian society. The study concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for future research and for promoting cultural diversity in Mauritian society.
