frfilmtv1-1, Exercise 1: French screens as a window on French culture

Model answer:

France was one of the places where cinema began, built some of the first large film companies, and produced influential movements such as poetic realism and the New Wave, along with a tradition of film criticism that shaped how the world thinks about directors. It also gave cinema a place in public policy, with a state body that supports film and a long argument about protecting French culture. Television followed a similar path from a state monopoly to private channels and streaming.

Any answer using two points from the chapter is acceptable.
