Description de l'ouvrage :
Analyses how migrants are portrayed in film from different viewpoints
• Deciphers the semiotics of migration and its representation in cinema
• Analyses films which depict migration in Africa, the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East
• Explores films that transgress mainstream popular currents and instead participate in alternative networks, such as internet, festivals, museums, and art-house circuits
Presenting the depiction of migration through a variety of cinematic outlets, this volume explores film’s depiction of human displacement in different geographic circumstances and probes the reasons why cinema so frequently evokes a stereotype of in-transit people. Techniques of affect and distance are revealed in the contributors’ close film studies of wide-ranging matter which include works by the Dardenne brothers, transnational video artists Ghazel and Bouchra Khalili, and studies of Syrian films at Western festivals.
Migrants’ Perspective, Migrants in Perspective: World Cinema deciphers the semiotics of migration and its representation in cinema, exploring both the complications of shooting a migrant subject, and the challenges of including the migrants’ point of view.
