The French don't want more Jerry Lewis movies?
The French campaign against the global tide of American entertainment is poised to take a big stride forward when almost every nation backs the first world convention on protecting culture.
Most of the 190 members of UNESCO, the UN cultural agency, are expected to vote overnight for a "convention on cultural diversity", which enshrines on a global level France's longstanding policy of subsidising its arts and imposing quotas on American films and music.
The vote will be a big defeat for the US, which held out against the plan with partial backing from Australia, Israel and Japan.
