Argentina-dictatorial/repressive/unstable governments that didn't
want local populations to freely express themselves...
economics-comparatively poor population when it came to filmmaking
equipment, economics again-almost impossible for a local film
industry to develop when they had to compete against U.S. films for
distribution and screen time without consistent government protection
Belgium-small country sandwiched around countries were film industry
developed earlier... can't name any specifics but if I remember, alot
of Belgians wound up in Germany

That wasn't a stupid question at all! But here is a similar
question that may well BE stupid!
I look up the country each movie is made in, when I sell a poster
from that movie, and I have found that just about EVERY country
in the world made TONS of movies locally (although a lot of them
never made it to the U.S., of course).
But here is a real oddity! I have only encountered a tiny number
of movies that were actually made in either Argentina or Belgium,
and yet, as we all know, these two countries produced a ZILLION
posters! Why did two countries that seem to have had next to no
movie making print posters for so many movies? You would think
that if they were so "movie crazy" in Argentina or Belgium then a
local movie industry would have developed there. What is that about?
