Abstract

This paper explores the transnational industry of migrant cinema. It particularly addresses the production and ‘guerrilla film-making’ of this genre in Italy, whilst analysing the effects of cultural policies on productions and representation. After defining the genre of migrant cinema—or ‘accented cinema’, as Hamid Naficy terms it—by positioning it within the wider theoretical framework of Third Cinema, I concentrate on aspects of representation and diversity, identity and cultural participation. I focus on the means of production and distribution as they have expanded in a transnational strategy of international co-productions beyond post-colonial communication and cooperation flows, and within new dynamics created by digital technology.
