For centuries, the continent has retold and reinterpreted epic works such as the Mahabharata and Ramayana from India, Shahnameh from Iran, Journey to the West and Dream of the Red Mansion from China, and Tale of Genji from Japan. This art has survived and flourished despite wars, natural calamities, and developmental challenges, and during our time has been particularly epitomized by the sustained developments in broadcasting and the continual growth of films.
The broadcasting and film industry are inter-related in many ways, and storytelling is perhaps the essential common ethos.
Looking forward to the development trends of these industries in the new decade and with the advent of the latest media technology on top of the perpetual reflection on values and narrative techniques, the need of impactful storytelling has become more pressing. Issues like commercialization, copyright, laws, and regulations, innovative business models are all more poignant for storytellers on their way forward to bringing peace and prosperity and uplifting Asian society.
