Table of ContentsReviewsFrom the interplanetary travel and alien encounters of science fiction films to the exploratory drive and spiritual growth associated with road movies, journeys both actual and metaphorical have been central to the motion picture medium since its origins as a technological curiosity over a century ago. The contributors to this appropriately globe-trotting, border-crossing collection -- with chapters focusing on migrant narratives in Romanian cinema, diasporic themes in Indian filmmaking, and everything in-between -- make the case that the story of the movies is and has always been the story of moving. In an age of mass deportations and international travel bans, Journeys on Screen reminds us of the need for cross-cultural connectedness and cosmopolitan understanding of other people and places, and is sure to inspire a restorative wanderlust in its readers.--David Scott Diffrient, Colorado State University Author InformationLouis Bayman is a lecturer in Film Studies at the University of Southampton.
