Abstract
This article studies three cinematic representations of the Galician migrant community in the United States: the documentaries Os 15000 de Newark (2007) and Little Spain (2014), and the feature-length film Little Galicia (2015). The analysis of these films focuses especially on the influence of their chosen framing on the migrants’ performance of their cultural identity. By assessing the performative aspect of identity, this article also examines the possibility of considering Galicianness as a transnational positioning, globally or glocally performed, rather than a geographically fixed essence.
