Abstract
This chapter offers a wider applicability for the methods of reading for city space by positioning the journey narrative of the cinematic city as integral to the larger story of migrancy and the city. Narratives of migration have always been a feature of cinematic cities, as materialized through the depiction of the journey from the country to the city in films such as Sunrise (1927) or Berlin: Symphony of a City (1927). Since one of the key tropes of migrancy is mobility, narratives of arrivals and departures are just as significant for the purposes of analysis as those set within the space of the city. As such, movement both away and toward urban spaces can be theorized as part of the cinematic story of the migrant in the city.
