Migration and Cinematic Process in Post-Cold War Europe

  • Chapter
European Cinema in Motion

Part of the book series: Palgrave European Film and Media Studies ((PEFMS))

Abstract

The year 1989 remains of definitive importance for the recent migratory and diasporic dynamics of Europe at large, and for European migrant and diasporic cinema in particular. Many of the developments that define today’s Europe were, directly or indirectly, triggered by the events of that year, including the German reunification, the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the wars of Yugoslavia’s succession in the 1990s and the 2004 enlargement of the European Union, which saw the admission of a range of former communist countries.
