      ab: The writers explore the French case for movie protectionism, which they regard as a subset of general support for the cultural exception to free trade. They note that the cultural industries of motion pictures and television are chief among the old and apparently afflicted industries for which the French government has formulated and promulgated a seemingly durable protectionist policy of indeterminate duration. They present a summary of French cultural protectionist policies, noting their intent, practice, and accomplishments. They conclude that this policy has probably negligible economic costs but disturbing political and ethical consequences.
