Cinema in a CP Victory TL

Rush Tarquin

Gone Fishin'
What would cinema be like in a CP victory TL? Presumably we would have a much larger German film industry with the Zollverein as a market, captive or not. What would happen to F.W. Murnau and Fritz Lang? Would German Expressionism be strangled in the cradle by more optimistic fare or would the experience of WWI still be a dark enough catalyst? How would that affect the development of the horror genre and how would crime fiction be different if film noir doesn't follow from German Expressionism? How different would the German film industry be if it had larger budgets at its disposal? How would the German and American film industries be affected by a significant portion of German Jewish talent presumably not heading for Hollywood? Is constructivism and its influence on film strangled in its cradle due to the Germans suppressing the Russian Revolution?

Check out Expat and my discussions in rast's TL A Shift in Priorities linked in my sig. Expat describes the cinema worldwide in a CP victory very well. You're gonna have to rummage through it or search for Expat's posts for keywords. The TL is four years strong now and I have no idea where those posts would be.
