Maybe not, but what makes you think that film couldn't be sustained by small
local producers. Take a lesson from the Micro Brewery's. The largest, Boston
Brewing Co. has grown to a size that it no longer qualifies as Micro but they
make at most 1% or 2% of the product produced by the major brewers. Yet it's sold
nationwide in the US and often sells for no more than a 50% premium over the usual
swill. Why should film be any different. If the majors stop making it someone else
will.

The really specious arguement is that somehow, a population of people living
in grass huts is somehow going to buy enough film to keep an industry
afloat.
It ain't gonna happen that way.
