Cultural Diversity in the French Film Industry

More about the book

Examining France's cultural exception in the digital age, this book critically assesses the impact of major players like Apple and Netflix on cultural policies and diversity. It questions the necessity of these policies amidst an abundance of films and investigates whether French film policy effectively promotes cultural diversity in cinema and video on demand. Sarah Walkley advocates for a more structured debate on the cultural exception, supporting her arguments with evidence of French policies successfully countering US film market dominance while addressing themes of competition and national identity.
