'A welcome addition to the literature on cinema and migration, Phillis' monograph examines the ways in which the cinema of a small European country with a long history of emigration has responded to the post-1990s phenomenon of becoming a host country for immigrants. The book focuses mainly on migration from Albania that dominated social discourse and cinematic representation in the 1990s and 2000s, but also throws light to cinematic responses to the mid-2010s "refugee crisis". A timely contribution to pressing global debates examined from a small country perspective.' Lydia Papadimitriou, Liv...

A timely contribution to pressing global debates examined from a small country perspective.' Lydia Papadimitriou, Liverpool John Moores University Greek Cinema and Migration provides a response to urgent calls to comprehend the cultural impact of immigration in Greece, and to determine the capacity of contemporary Greek cinema to challenge the logic of Fortress Europe. Placing contemporary Greek cinema within the context of European film production and transnational cinema, the book explores the fascination of Greek filmmakers with migration, mobility, borders and identity, between 1991 and 2016. With case studies of films such as The Suspended Step of the Stork (1991), The Way to the West (2003), Man at Sea (2011) and many more, this groundbreaking book provides an in-depth understanding of contemporary Greek cinema and its direct correlation to the country's ongoing struggles to implement European modernity. Philip E. Phillis has taught at Glasgow University and Glasgow Caledonian University, and is currently a lecturer in Film and Media Studies at Sciènces Po College in the city of Le Havre, France.
