Migrants' Perspectives, Migrants in Perspective - World Cinema (Hardcover)

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.
