defilmtv1-1, Exercise 1: German screens as a window on German history

Model answer:

German film and television carry a great deal of national history in one place. Germany showed films to the public in the 1890s, built a major studio at Babelsberg, saw its film industry used by the Nazi government, then rebuilt it in two ways in West and East after 1945. Television followed its own path, organised by regions and kept away from central government after the war, so the screens record how Germany handled power, division and reunification.

Any answer using two points from the chapter is acceptable.
