National Film Development Corporation Malaysia, also known as FINAS, is a state-owned entity headquartered in Malaysia, founded in 1980. The organization functions as the central government agency and governing body for the film industry of Malaysia. Its mandate includes regulating economic and commercial matters pertaining to the Malaysian film industry and developing film policies and programs aimed at ensuring the economic, cultural, and educational development of the sector. FINAS also provides funds to filmmakers and film studios, with a role comparable to that of bodies like the Film Development Council of the Philippines or the Motion Picture Association of America. Following its merger with Filem Negara Malaysia (FNM) in 2013, which established it as the sole film regulatory body, FINAS operates as an independent statutory entity, separated from remuneration and financially independent.
