If a musician is an Ethnomusicologist, and a theatre artists is an Ethnodramacologist.
Is a filmmaker an Ethnomoviecologist?
Stephen Cadd grew up a missionary kid in the Philippines. He was always crazy about movies, but found it frustrating that all the films about the Gospel in the library of the Bible School where his parents worked were all Made in America.
As an adult he founded Sword Produtions a film production company committed to helping indigenous peoples make films that suit their own cultures. From their website:
The power of a dramatic film for evangelistic use cannot be overstated. Years of experience have shown this to be one of the most useful tools for evangelism in the 21ST century. Sword Productions has pioneered in producing such films for fifteen twenty years. The cost is very reasonable, considering the fact that the numerical results for the out-reaching churches or groups are quite astonishing.
