Abstract
This article analyses the articulation of Paris as a transnational space in a series of French co-productions made since 2000 by filmmakers of both West African and white European origin. The films in question all draw on narratives of displacement which evoke the problematic transcultural experiences of West Africans in France and thereby comment on the larger narrative of globalisation. However, the article also identifies differences of style and content between white and African-authored films, and suggests that the latter are more concerned not only with individual subjectivities but also with the city as the site of positive transcultural encounters.
