Before the Nazis took over, Germany was home to the world's second-largest film industry. All that changed from 1933 onward, as the Nazis jailed/drove out many of the top contributors to this industry. And after WWII and the Cold War division of Europe, Hollywood's dominance in global cinema was firmly secured.

Assuming either a surviving Weimar government or a more Leftist government in 1930s Germany, how would their movie industry develop? And what alternate ways would the medium develop elsewhere in Europe?

I'll admit that my knowledge of interwar European movies is focused on Germany and the early USSR. So anyone more familiar with what the rest of the continent was producing in those years is welcome to respond.
