The answer of Gina W   was rated best

the highlights of the "seventh art" venture

My comment:

Here, "lignes de feu" is not to be translated too close to its regular use in the context of fire / fire-fighting. It is more figurative. Instead of "highlights", you could also use "landmarks" or "high points".

You could also say "project" instead of "venture", but I'm not sure that "adventure" quite captures the meaning here.

The asker's comment:

Used the more subdued "milestones," which seemed to fit it better with the overall tone of my entire context. Thank you.
