	Film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Motion pictures were purely visual art up to the late 1920s, but these innovative silent films had gained a hold on the public imagination.
		As a medium, film is not limited to motion pictures, since the technology developed as the basis for photography.
		Romantic motion pictures about a girl loving a guy but not being able to be together for some reason, movies about a hero who fights against all odds a more powerful fiendish enemy, comedies about everyday life, etc. all involve plots with common threads that existed in books, plays and other venues.

	The Motion Picture Production Code of 1930 (Hays Code)
		Motion picture producers recognize the high trust and confidence which have been placed in them by the people of the world and which have made motion pictures a universal form of entertainment.
		Hence, though regarding motion pictures primarily as entertainment without any explicit purpose of teaching or propaganda, they know that the motion picture within its own field of entertainment may be directly responsible for spiritual or moral progress, for higher types of social life, and for much correct thinking.
		Hence: The motion pictures, which are the most popular of modern arts for the masses, have their moral quality from the intention of the minds which produce them and from their effects on the moral lives and reactions of their audiences.

	The Production Code of the Motion Picture Industry (1930-1967) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Theatrical motion pictures, that is, pictures intended for the theatre as distinct from pictures intended for churches, schools, lecture halls, educational movements, social reform movements, etc., are primarily to be regarded as entertainment.
		Hence: The motion pictures, which are the most popular arts for the masses, have their moral quality from the intention of the minds which produce them and from their effects on the moral lives and reactions of their audiences.
		In the case of the motion pictures, this effect may be particularly emphasized because no art has so quick and so widespread an appeal to the masses.

	MCN: The Screener Lawsuit - Page 4
		The major motion picture industry is excessively concentrated; the MPAA signatory members, their specialty divisions and distribution subsidiaries, New Line Cinema, and DreamWorks make up more than 95% of the box-office market in revenue annually.
		Motion Picture studios ensure this by carefully timing the stages of motion picture release, "first to cinemas, then to home video, then to other media." The theatrical release of a motion picture creates a marketing foundation for the exploitation of the motion picture in all other media.
		Major motion picture conglomerates are risk averse, and that leads to a tendency to only fund films that are like those that have been previously successful.

	Alleged Jewish 'Control' of the American Motion Picture Industry
		In the early years of motion pictures, many so-called "Jew movies" were produced which portrayed Jews as carnal, criminal, usurious, miserly and sly.
		While statistics and studies on the subject are not readily available, the Anti-Defamation League believes that the recitation of numbers and percentages is not the answer to the false charges of Jewish "control" of the motion picture industry, or, indeed, of similar accusations involving the media, banking, finance and other businesses.
		Moreover, it bears repeating that those Jews who involve themselves in the motion picture industry do so as individuals, not as representatives of their religious group or with an aim to act in some coordinated conspiratorial manner.

	Analysis and Conclusions of the Washington Task Force on the Motion Picture Industry - 1978 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		"The motion picture industry, with 83% of film rentals received by six companies (the MPAA companies) and 92% received by eight companies, is clearly oligopolistic.
		Technological progressiveness is low when relevant to the exhibitor, e.g., motion pictures are still being distributed individually in the form of bulky and expensive film.
		Technological expertise exists in the industry, but more efficient distribution (such as electronic transmission of motion pictures or the use of video cassettes), which would ease distribution for independents and therefore aid their entry into the market, IS NOT BEING EXPLORED.
