Abstract
During the First World War, the film industries of the major European countries experienced a lasting crisis, which necessitated significant restructuring and prompted appeals for state intervention to counterbalance the invasion of American cinematography. As the extent of this crisis did not affect all nations equally, each pursued its own course in the attempt to defend its products and markets from the competition and success of Hollywood films (through such measures as tariffs, quota systems and importation prohibitions). This essay aims to present a comparative analysis of these policies.File in questo prodotto:
