1. Film Analysis Books: Help your grandson delve deeper into the world of cinema by gifting him some popular film analysis books. Books like "Understanding Movies" by Louis Giannetti or "Film Art: An Introduction" by David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson are excellent resources that can expand his understanding and appreciation of cinema.

2. Director's Chair: To make your grandson feel like a true filmmaker, consider gifting him a director's chair. This practical and stylish gift will not only make him feel special but also serve as a reminder of his passion for movies every time he sits down to watch a film.

3. Movie Poster: Personalize his space by getting him a high-quality movie poster of his favorite film or director. It will not only beautify his room but also inspire him to keep pursuing his love for cinema. You can even frame it to give the poster a polished and professional look.

4. Film Festival Tickets: Check if there are any local film festivals happening in your area around the time of his birthday. Buying tickets to such an event will give him the opportunity to experience a wide range of movies from various genres and cultures and engage with other film enthusiasts.

5. Subscription to a Film Magazine: Keep your grandson updated with the latest industry news, director interviews, film reviews, and behind-the-scenes insights by gifting him a subscription to a renowned film magazine such as "Empire," "Film Comment," or "Sight & Sound." It will provide him with a constant source of inspiration and knowledge.

6. Portable Projector: Let your grandson enjoy his favorite movies on the big screen, even outdoors, with a portable projector. This versatile gift will allow him to create his own movie theater experience wherever he chooses. Pair it with a portable screen or even a blank wall to complete the setup.
