France is the birthplace of cinema and was responsible for many of its significant contributions to the art form and the film-making process itself.[3] Several important cinematic movements, including the Nouvelle Vague, began in the country. It is noted for having a particularly strong film industry, due in part to protections afforded by the French government.[3]
Apart from its strong and innovative film tradition, France has also been a gathering spot for artists from across Europe and the world. For this reason, French cinema is sometimes intertwined with the cinema of foreign nations. Directors from nations such as Poland (Roman Polanski, Krzysztof Kieślowski, and Andrzej Żuławski), Argentina (Gaspar Noé and Edgardo Cozarinsky), Russia (Alexandre Alexeieff, Anatole Litvak), Austria (Michael Haneke), and Georgia (Géla Babluani, Otar Iosseliani) are prominent in the ranks of French cinema. Conversely, French directors have had prolific and influential careers in other countries, such as Luc Besson, Jacques Tourneur, or Francis Veber in the United States.
Another element supporting this fact is that Paris has the highest density of cinemas in the world, measured by the number of movie theaters per inhabitant,[4] and that in most "downtown Paris" movie theaters, foreign movies which would be secluded to "art houses" cinemas in other places are shown alongside "mainstream" works. Philippe Binant realized, on 2 February 2000, the first digital cinema projection in Europe, with the DLP CINEMA technology developed by Texas Instruments, in Paris.[5][6][7] Paris also boasts the Cité du cinéma, a major studio north of the city, and Disney Studio, a theme park devoted to the cinema and the third theme park near the city behind Disneyland and Parc Asterix.[8]
France is the most successful film industry in Europe in terms of number of films produced per annum, with a record-breaking 300 feature-length films produced in 2015.[9] France is also one of the few countries where non-American productions have the biggest share: American films only represented 44.9% of total admissions in 2014. This is largely due to the commercial strength of domestic productions, which accounted for 44,5% of admissions in 2014 (35.5% in 2015; 35.3% in 2016).[10] Also, the French film industry is closer to being entirely self-sufficient than any other country in Europe, recovering around 80–90% of costs from revenues generated in the domestic market alone.[11]
According to the question,Kerneland suffers from a chronic scarcity of its staple grain, and corns which are agricultural products don't mean that a country is not self-sufficient in itself.
Since Kernaland faces this scarcity it can import the same products from other countries to get rid of this problem which maintaining a balance of trade it can export what it specializes with.
Developed countries have had similar problems of food scarcity in the earlier periods, but have overcome this. Blaming developing countries from the lack of food supplies is not a good way of understanding the economy, as many nations that are now developed or food sufficient had to import more of agricultural produce example is landlocked countries.
One of the main reasons, I think, that they revolted was because the British had put a lot of taxes on the goods of the American colonists. One of the big things they taxed was tea. I think that if the British would have gone lighter on the taxes, especially the tea ones, the movement might have not happened. Tea was a big thing at the time so obviously if they had to pay taxes for something they truly loved, it would make them upset. I hope this helps, I’m not sure exactly when the question you’re asking is about but I tried :)
