Global London on screen presents a mélange of films by directors
from the Global South and North, portraying everyday life to the
more fantastical, odious, or extraordinary in terms of
circumstances as captured cinematically in this superdiverse city.
This book portrays a segment of such superdiversity by
historicising and theorising various cinematic reproductions of
London by filmmakers coming to this megacity from abroad. As
visitors, cosmopolitans, or even migrant filmmakers, their
treatment of London’s zonal locations as both foreign and
familiar is fascinating; their narratives and visualisations of
London’s spatial and architectural uniqueness is given a
sojourners’ touch; while other foreign filmmakers showcase and
sometimes problematise London’s socio-cultural globality and
locality as both British and a city open (and sometimes closed off)
to the world. -- .
