ABSTRACT

European cinema has undergone an unprecedented transformation as a result of the increased visibility of diasporic filmmakers and a growing interest in the representation of ethnic diversity and multiculturalism on screen. Migrant and diasporic cinema can be conceived of as a sub-category of transnational cinema. The distinction between migrant and diasporic cinema revolves around the different stages of mobility, referenced in the terms 'migration' and 'diaspora', as well as the concept of generation. Most scholars reserve the term for films made by diasporic filmmakers, thereby emphasizing the authenticity of experience and the significance of authorship. Scholarly debates on diasporic cinema are frequently embedded in other discursive frameworks, notably race, post-colonialism, plurilingualism, minorities, and world and transnational cinema. Diasporic films challenge and frequently disavow borders of all kinds. Their protagonists transcend the borders of the nation-state on account of their dual heritage and typically try to assert their place in the social fabric of the hegemonic host society.
