Fiji only began producing its own feature films in 2004, and has produced just one to date. Vilsoni Hereniko's The Land Has Eyes (2004) is set in Rotuma and stars indigenous Rotuman actress Sapeta Taito in her début role, alongside New Zealand actress Rena Owen.[1] [2]
2004 was also the year in which the film Reel Paradise (United States) was produced. The film depicts the true story of an American setting up a cinema to show films free of charge in Fiji.[3] [4]
Fiji has a large ethnic Indian minority, and Bollywood films are popular both among Indo-Fijians and indigenous Fijians, with some being dubbed in Fijian.[5]
