Cinema: in Muslim countries

Cinema. The word "cinema" holds immense breadth and influence nowadays. It can shape preferences or be shaped by them, influencing the majority of film production worldwide. While many films are made with the aim of catering to general audience tastes or reflecting the values, beliefs, and responsibilities of their creators, not all films reach a wide audience. Some remain unknown to a specific number of viewers. Moreover, various countries have different sets of regulatory constraints influenced by cultural values, ideologies, taboos, and religious ethics, which sometimes constrain the freedom of cinema.
