Could the classic films of Truffaut, Godard or, more recently, Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist) have existed without the generous forms of support provided to the French film industry? Many countries have been inspired by France’s public policies in the filmmaking industry. Sometimes critiqued as protectionist, these policies, introduced after World War II, allowed France to become the first European hub of film production and exportation, and one of the leading world powers in the industry. How has the French system evolved since the end of World War II? What relationships has it had with the American model ?
