France Télévisions film chief Manuel Alduy has warned that the far-right Rassemblement National’s plan to privatize public broadcasting would devastate French cinema, stripping it from one of its biggest financiers.

“There will be no more investment by public television in French feature films. And since there are not enough such films for free commercial television, there will be fewer French films produced and impoverished French films in financing,” said Alduy, who oversees cinema and international series at France Télévisions, in a message sent to Variety.
