The Cinema of Germany refers to the film industry based in Germany and can be traced back to the late 19th century. German cinema has made major technical and artistic contributions to film during the period from 1918-1933. Unlike other national cinemas, which developed in the context of relatively continuous and stable political systems, Germany witnessed major changes to its identity during the 20th century.
Those changes determined the periodisation of national cinema into a succession of distinct eras and movements.[6] 1895–1918 German Empire[edit] The history of cinema in Germany can be traced back to the years shortly after the medium's birth. In its earliest days, the cinematograph was perceived as an attraction for upper class audiences, but the novelty of moving pictures did not last long. The Babelsberg Studio near Berlin was the first large-scale film studio in the world (founded 1912) and the forerunner to Hollywood. Prior to 1914, however, many foreign films were imported.

Cinema of France. Cinema of France refers to the film industry based in France.
The French cinema comprises the art of film and creative movies made within the nation of France or by French filmmakers abroad. France is the birthplace of cinema and was responsible for many of its early significant contributions.[6] 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.[6][dated info] 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,[7] 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.

In 1999 the British Film Institute surveyed 1,000 people from the world of British film and television to produce the BFI 100 list of the greatest British films of the 20th century. Voters were asked to choose up to 100 films that were 'culturally British'. Some of the selected films were wholly or partly produced by non-UK companies, or made with input from film makers born overseas, but were regarded by voters as having significant British involvement.[1] List breakdown[edit] The top ten films[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] Stephen Fry: Guilty (TV Movie 2007) Blade Runner (1982) City of Life and Death (2009) Dancing on the Edge (TV Series 2013– )

Taisen Deshimaru (弟子丸 泰仙, Deshimaru Taisen? , 29 November 1914 - April 30, 1982) was a Japanese Sōtō Zen Buddhist teacher, who founded the Association Zen Internationale. Biography[edit] Early life[edit] Born in the Saga Prefecture of Kyūshū, Deshimaru was raised by his grandfather, a former Samurai before the Meiji Revolution, and by his mother, a devout follower of the Jōdo Shinshū sect of Buddhism. Interested in the world, he abandoned his mother's practices and studied Christianity for a long while under a Protestant minister before ultimately deciding that it was not for him either. He returned to his own religion, Buddhism, and eventually came into contact with Rinzai teachings.
Eventually, he also grew distant from Rinzai Buddhism and was unsatisfied by his life as a businessman. Following the Attack on Pearl Harbor, his master predicted that Japan would lose the war. War years[edit] Deshimaru was exempted from the Imperial Japanese Army because of his near-sightedness. Europe[edit] All Is Lost (2013. Tueurs nés (1994.
