Description de l'ouvrage :
Rethinks cinematic journeys through history, globalisation, form and genre
• Honourable Mention - BAFTSS Best Edited Collection Award 2020!
Addressing the appeal of the journey narrative from pre-cinema to new media and through documentary, fiction and the spaces between, this collection reveals the journey to be a persistent presence across cinema and in cultural modernity. Drawing on examples from different regions and cultures that traverse art and genre cinema, the book explores the journey as a motif for something wider, a metaphor for self-discovery and social transformation, and evidence of autonomy and progress (or their lack). Illuminating areas of global movement, belonging, diaspora and memory, these essays document epochal changes in human behaviour, from urbanisation, migration and war to tourism and shopping.

Revue de Presse :
From the interplanetary travel and alien encounters of science fiction films to the exploratory drive and spiritual growth associated with road movies, journeys both actual and metaphorical have been central to the motion picture medium since its origins as a technological curiosity over a century ago. The contributors to this appropriately globe-trotting, border-crossing collection — with chapters focusing on migrant narratives in Romanian cinema, diasporic themes in Indian filmmaking, and everything in-between — make the case that the story of the movies is and has always been the story of moving. In an age of mass deportations and international travel bans, Journeys on Screen reminds us of the need for cross-cultural connectedness and cosmopolitan understanding of other people and places, and is sure to inspire a restorative wanderlust in its readers.– David Scott Diffrient, Colorado State University
