What is sri lankan movies?

Sri Lankan cinema, also known as Sinhalese cinema, refers to the film industry in Sri Lanka. It is a relatively small industry, producing around 20-25 feature films per year. The majority of Sri Lankan films are made in the Sinhala language, although there are also films made in Tamil and English.

Sri Lankan cinema has a rich history, dating back to the 1940s, and has produced a number of acclaimed filmmakers and actors. Notable films include "Rekava," which was the first Sinhalese film to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival, and "Nidhanaya," which is considered a classic of Sri Lankan cinema.

In recent years, the Sri Lankan film industry has faced challenges, including a lack of government support and competition from Hollywood and Bollywood films. However, there has been a resurgence of interest in Sri Lankan cinema, with new filmmakers and actors emerging and a growing international audience for Sri Lankan films.
