frfilmtv1-10, Exercise 3: Tracing the thread Model answer (one possible answer): Chapter 4: the Blum-Byrnes agreement and the CNC in 1946 began the argument over keeping a national cinema beside the American one. Chapter 5: state advances against box-office takings helped to finance the New Wave's low-budget first films, so public money paid for artistic risk. Chapter 9: streaming platforms arrived outside the old quota system, and France negotiated rules requiring them to invest in French work. It is Blum-Byrnes in a new form. Open question: whether the model can survive global platforms (or who counts as French, or whether protection helps or holds back).
