Synopsis
Explore how cinema shapes public welfare and international policy, and how nations might collaborate to guide the industry. This work surveys the cross‑border issues of motion pictures, from censorship and public morals to the rise of government influence and international cooperation.
Written to inform and influence policy discussions, it examines different national approaches, the role of the League of Nations, and the potential for an international accord to guide film production, distribution, and exhibition in the public interest. The argument combines historical context with a practical path forward for governance and industry reform.
- How governments regulate cinema and why this matters for the public good.
- Different national strategies for film control, protection, and reform.
- The idea of an international cinema alliance and a League of Nations framework.
- Practical considerations for steering the film trade toward wholesome, educational, and peaceful ends.
Ideal for readers interested in the history of film policy, international relations, and media governance.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the international cinema industry, asserting that a single nation's film industry, primarily America's, dominates 90% of screens globally. The author maintains that the issues are both national and international, affecting public welfare, morality, culture, and trade. They argue that pictures produced in the United States often promote undesirable values, misrepresent American ideals, and exacerbate world tensions. The author advocates for international cooperation to remedy this situation, suggesting the creation of a cinema committee within the League of Nations to supervise international film matters. They propose solutions including national and international film inspection, reapportionment of the global film trade, and the suppression of unfair trade practices that have led to the current monopoly. The book concludes that such measures are essential for improving the quality of motion pictures exhibited worldwide and for fostering a more just and equitable global film industry.
