Thank you for your insightful comment. I came across a critique, by the director of A Serbian Film, who was very critical of the way films are funded in Serbia. I seem to recall him claiming that this limited artistic freedom for film makers. Yet there are Serbian film makers like Kustirica who have had successful careers and appear to have maintained their artistic freedom. Maybe I don't know enough about his career and why he has been successful.
Maybe governments need to take the attitude of the French towards nurturing and protecting their domestic film industries without interfering with the artistic process.
