Day 7: Powerful Film Scripts, National Anthems, and the First Cinema in France.
Why is France the largest film producer in Europe? It's all about a film's language. A film is usually classified by its original language. So, for instance, English-speaking movies can entertain and serve a vast audience, allowing their film production industries to develop considerably. Similarly, other languages groups like Arabic, Spanish and Chinese also have well-developed film industries. The same goes for the French, which also have a large population that consumes content in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Africa, and Canada. All these French-speaking communities and cultures enjoy watching French productions.
