Any topic (writer’s choice)

watch 2 movies and write an essay (3-4pages) that illustrates the concepts of the POLYCENTRIC, POLYMORPHIC, and POLYVALENT in world cinema. To answer this question, you should relate the films and the three concepts to topics covered in the class.
(for example, film festivals, Bollywood, small cinemas, blockbusters, piracy, etc.).

Examples of phenomena include film festivals, blockbusters, co-productions, etc. For instance, film festivals are a transnational phenomenon that creates audiences for films outside of their home country. That opens the possibility of audiences having different interpretations of the film, which would be an example of polyvalence.

I attached a file called (final exam notes) please use it to help you understand the concepts and help you answer the question.
