Cinematic Minor Memory Work
Around the end of the aughts, France witnessed another resurgence of cinematic interest in the Second World War, with a spate of films released between 2008–2011 being linked by a particular focus on “memory work”. This article examines three of them: L’Armée du crime (Robert Guédiguian, 2009), Liberté/Korkoroedom (Tony Gatlif, 2010) and Les Hommes libres (Ismaël Ferroukhi, 2011). Although the Holocaust is of secondary (if unavoidable) importance…
Orienteering (through) cinéma-monde
This article considers a selection of films about air travel that encompass an array of voyagers from refugees to business travelers as a metaphor for cinéma-monde and its complex threads and trajectories. Through an analysis of key moments of transition, transformation, or exposition within short scenes from six films set at least in part at airports, I examine how characters and viewers orient themselves between the hubs shared by air networks …

East, West and Centre
"World's leading scholars in the field assemble to consider the ways in which notions such as East and West, national and transnational, central and marginal are being rethought and reframed in contemporary European cinema. Assessing the state of post-1989 European cinema, from (co)production and reception trends to filmic depictions of migration patterns, economic transformation and socio-political debates over the past and the present, they add…

Open Roads, Closed Borders
Bouger pour voir les immeubles’
This article explores the link between mobility and representation in two female-directed banlieue films. Jeunesse dorée (Zaïda Ghorab-Volta, 2001) is the first feature film by a female Franco-Maghrebi director while L'année suivante (Isabelle Czajka, 2006) is a notable representative of a more recent wave of female-directed banlieue films that have provided increasingly multifaceted representations of the banlieue. Both, I argue, are two of the …
Traveling beyond the national
The road movie has recently become an increasingly popular vehicle for French and European filmmakers attempting to come to terms with the complexities of contemporary identity within New Europe and a postcolonial world. This article considers the ways by which one notable sub-category of French road cinema, the road movie, opens the door to a reading of contemporary identity as a concept not strictly delimited by the geographic boundaries of the…
