The legacy of emigres in the British film industry, from the silent
film era until after the Second World War, has been largely
neglected in the scholarly literature. Destination London is the
first book to redress this imbalance. Focusing on areas such as
exile, genre, technological transfer, professional training and
education, cross-cultural exchange and representation, it begins by
mapping the reasons for this neglect before examining the
contributions made to British cinema by emigre directors, actors,
screenwriters, cinematographers, set designers, and composers. It
goes on to assess the cultural and economic contexts of
transnational industry collaborations in the 1920s, artistic
cosmopolitanism in the 1930s, and anti-Nazi propaganda in the
1940s.
