ABSTRACT

This chapter presents an historical survey of migrant films' produced in Norway. It gives a short discussion of the films' genre affiliations in the context of Hamid Naficy's concept of accented cinema' and the general aesthetic tendencies in Norwegian film production. Hamid Naficy has written what is so far the most extensive study of films made by migrant directors about the diasporic experience. The chapter is based upon a fairly common definition of migrant films as texts that deal with migration issues, made by directors who themselves have experienced multiple belongings and the difficulties and pleasures of migrant and diasporic life. The two migrant films made in the 1980s An Eye for an Eye and Macaroni Blues address themselves to the plight of the so-called guest workers' who began entering the Norwegian workforce in moderate numbers.
