The Motion Picture Association (MPA) is the international counterpart of the Motion Picture Association of America.
History
The MPA starting out as the Motion Picture Association of America was started in 1922, as a trade organization for American Film industry. The task was to curb criticism of American films of the era, and give a more favourable image of the film industry.[citation needed]
Following World War II in 1945 its counterpart the Motion Pictures Export Association of America was formed to restore the American film market, and fight the trade barriers and restrictions imposed on American films.[citation needed]
In 1994 its name was changed from the Motion Picture Export Association of America to the Motion Picture Association to more accurately reflect the global nature of audiovisual entertainment in today's international marketplace.[citation needed]
