Abstract

This chapter explores the future of work in Malaysia's film and television industry, highlighting both risks and opportunities. It employs Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) to examine the industry's trajectory across four levels: litany, systemic, worldviews/discourses, and myths/metaphors. Key topics include the impact of technological advancements like AI, the preservation of cultural identity amidst global influences, and the need for strategic planning to address governance issues and resource allocation. The analysis reveals systemic challenges such as poor working conditions, de-skilling, and the erosion of local cultural values, while also identifying opportunities for upskilling, knowledge transfer, and enhanced placemaking strategies. The chapter concludes with recommendations for agile, culturally grounded strategies to ensure the industry's sustainability and global competitiveness, emphasizing the importance of preserving cultural authenticity and improving the well-being of creative laborers.
