Abstract

In the modern day, films are used in various ways in the society. The films play an important role in the society as they attempt to pass a message to the audience. A successful film is said to have conveyed the intended message to its audience. A film can be interpreted in various ways depending on the viewer’s beliefs and values based on the subject of the film. In the post-WWII European films, multi-cultural interaction makes all kinds of film producers and actors transcend national boundaries in film creation and theme expression, which promotes the film itself to some extent, but at the same time they are faced with multi-cultural challenges. This essay will take study on the coping strategies for the film industry under the challenge of multiculturalism and the film of Skirt Day is selected as an example.
