Rekava is a 1956 film based on village life and mythical beliefs in Sri Lanka. It is the first Sinhala film fully shot in Ceylon and was shot outdoors in the country. It was also the first Sri Lankan film that was free from Indian influence. Many Sinhala films in that time were remakes of South Indian films and were not adapted to the Sri Lankan context, even having unnatural dialog.
