Cine Nacional Cine Nacional refers to national film industries and their bodies of work as recognized within countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, France, United Kingdom, United States, India, Japan, Italy, Spain and Germany. The term encompasses production, distribution, exhibition, cultural policy and national identity as seen through institutions like Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales, British Film Institute, Cinecittà, Tollywood, Bollywood, Museo del Cine and festivals such as the Cannes Film Festival, Venice Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival. Scholarship on Cine Nacional engages with debates from authors affiliated with La Sorbonne, University of Buenos Aires, University of São Paulo, Columbia University and University of California, Los Angeles.
National cinemas developed alongside technologies and institutions including the Lumière brothers' screenings, the Biograph Company, the Edison Manufacturing Company, and studios like Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, UFA (company), Toho, Shochiku and Ealing Studios. Early 20th-century movements such as German Expressionism, Soviet Montage, Italian Neorealism and French New Wave shaped state and private models in countries like Soviet Union, Italy, France and Japan. Postwar reconstruction involved agencies such as National Film Board of Canada and policies like the Hays Code response, while later shifts included the New Argentine Cinema, Cinema Novo, New Hollywood and the rise of international co-productions around treaties like the European Convention on Cinematographic Co-Production. Digital disruption accelerated with companies such as Netflix, Amazon Studios, HBO and film schools such as Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia and National Film and Television School influencing national outputs.
Scholars define national cinema through institutional, aesthetic and market criteria involving entities like Ministério da Cultura (Brazil), Instituto Mexicano de Cinematografía, National Film Development Corporation (India) and Fonds Sud Cinéma. Debates invoke texts by André Bazin, Roland Barthes, Stuart Hall, Edward Said, Laura Mulvey and Benedict Anderson and reference archival collections at Cinémathèque Française, Academy Film Archive and British Film Institute National Archive. Scope ranges across feature films, documentaries, animation and shorts produced by studios such as Studio Ghibli, Aardman Animations, Pixar Animation Studios and independent houses linked to movements like Dogme 95 and festivals including Sundance Film Festival.

Griffith, the classical studio era dominated by Warner Bros., RKO Pictures and Columbia Pictures, wartime and propaganda cinema in Nazi Germany, Soviet Union and United States with figures like Leni Riefenstahl, Sergei Eisenstein and Frank Capra. Postwar waves feature Italian Neorealism with Roberto Rossellini and Vittorio De Sica, the French New Wave with Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut, Japanese New Wave with Nagisa Oshima, and Latin American currents such as Cinema Novo with Glauber Rocha and the Nuevo Cine Mexicano with Alejandro González Iñárritu, Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuarón.
