What is your country's movie industry like? How popular is it?

Lucas Rivera
niche tier. Language barrier and whatnot. Television shows get exported regularly.
Blake Reyes
What do Norwegians think of Swedish cinema?
Evan Gutierrez
Bollywood bad regional good
Gavin Perry
Talking like meme. Naive at hell. Keep making random annoying scene because main or poor innocent ppl is naive and shiet for "cliff hanger". Gangsta act/villian act like they're bunch of jealous bully school gurl.
Good film get exported and never show there because it's too high IQ.
Henry Hughes
It sounds like more and more films are being made in the UK rather than Hollywood now, I'm not sure why.
Benjamin Anderson
some good movies here and there, mostly garbage mass produced romcoms and gangster movies. used to be great, but went to shit since the 90s.
Eli Walker
I don't really watch contemporary Hungarian movies, so of those I cannot speak, but Hollywood studios love bringing their film productions here to Hungary
Kayden Edwards
it's better for international distribution, especially for indie movies you want to screen early at European festivals to get the word of mouth going. also filming abroad is good for Hollywood's tax schemes.
Thomas Ortiz
movie industry is not really great here, they produce mostly garbage. we import way more movies.
only successful movies on international stages are about ww2, like "der untergang" and "das boot". other movies make some east europeans butthurt like "unsere mütter, unsere väter". of course it was garbage, but not because of this one moment were poles got butthurt about, the whole movie was shit.
Evan Sullivan
shit tier "comedy", bad to actually great criminal dramas and occasional WE WUZ MONGOLZ/HUNZ/SCYTHIANZ "historical" movies. Also our government sometimes finances foreign movies about WW2 if it involves soldiers born in Kazakhstan.
Jack Martinez
Commercial shit is bad, but getting better. Unfortunately, the only good ones are not available for rewatch unless extremely popular, since most of them are made for film fests.
Wyatt Gray
Is German comedy popular in the rest of Europe?
Isaiah Long

Elijah Anderson
We have some good movies / series, but there's still this strange "seriousness" that plagues almost everything that airs here. And the worst thing is that they try to copy american stuff. Like hell no i don't want finnish american styled auction shows or dating bullshit.
Ian Russell
I watched the horse thief move from 2019. It was pretty good.
Isaac Rogers
good bye, lenin was pretty popular in europe from what i know
Matthew Flores
India and Uganda unironically have the most interesting films.
Hudson Gomez
We have "fond kino" - state's organization sponsoring domestic movie/cartoon projects. The idea is great, but implementation not really. Basically, for many Russians, thx to badcomedian's effort, a movie being sponsored by fond kino is considered to be a sign of bad quality, more often than not. But still, most of the biggest blockbaster pictures is sponsored by the state, and most of them are lesser quality copy of hollywood movies. Occasionally they sponsor some artsy projects too, but they usually go unnoticed since nobody's advertising them.
Can't say it's popular in a good sense, but it usually does have some media coverage and discussions around it.
Sebastian Taylor
>drama about gay dancers in georgian
Did anyone watch it in Sweden? kek
Julian Murphy
probably the director and their friends
Juan Anderson
Used to have pretty original and good movies produced here but americanization ruined it pretty much totally and now everything is the same shade of hollywood wannabe crap.
Kevin Long
Jaxon Nelson
Superior to ours ofc, but Danish cinema is where it's really at
Henry Hill
Awful. There's one or two okay films, and the local industry keeps trying to push this one old fuck director for the last 30 years.
Leo Young
extremely
Zachary Gray
>interracial lesbian love drama
Name
Brandon Gonzalez
and what's the film industry like in Sakartvelo?
Oliver Watson
Movies are only popular here. Our cinema was at its peak in the 60s and 70s. There are channels that only show movies from that era. It went to shit in the 80s and was almost nonexistent in the early 90s. It revived in the late 90s though. Current movies are mostly garbage comedy movies but people watch them more than foreign movies for some reason. Low IQ probably. TV shows get exported to some countries I think but I don't watch them
Henry Evans
Mostly stale romantic comedy movies which all follow the same pattern.
Jack Moore
Swedish media is crap these days. We had god level comedies (especially tv shows) and thrillers (like Beck) back in the day. Now... Well it's useless.
Norway makes good movies (Thale, The Wave, Trollhunter, Kon Tiki, Dead Snow etc) and great tv shows (Beforeigners, Ragnarok and more).
Finland has also made some of the best movies ever like Rare Exports, Big Game and such.
And lets not forget all the movies by Aki Kaurismäki. His movies are all works of art.

Low-quality comedy and depressive dramas with the same 10 actors in almost every film mostly.
Then there is the occasional meme film like Iron Sky etc.

Incredibly based.
Logan Flores
It's trash
Parker Lewis
This film was pretty good:
Levi Fisher
This is probably the best scene I've ever seen in a movie. The Finns know.
