Cinema of Europe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

European cinema

The cinema of Europe has, compared to the cinema of the United States, the reputation of being more liberal when it comes to the representation of nudity and sexuality but less liberal when it comes to the depiction of violence. In the US, European cinema, like world cinema, is often shown in art house theatres.

Some notable European film movements include German Expressionism, Italian neorealism, French New Wave, New German Cinema, Dogme 95, and New Austrian Film.

A key difference with American cinema is that its European counterpart is often government funded.

The cinema of Europe has its own awards, the European Film Awards.
