British and Irish Cinema

This child group of European Cinema collects that broader group's members whose primary country of origin is the United Kingdom, Scotland or Ireland, read from the member's own recorded Country fact or its description text, spanning Ealing comedies, British social-realist docudrama and Irish co-productions; it is kept distinct from this atlas's separate Hollywood and English-Language Studio Cinema subcategory by its own placement, already live, under this world-cinema subcategory rather than that one.
