Since the early 1980s and the arrival of Beur cinema filmmakers of Maghrebi origin have made a key contribution French cinema's representation of issues such as immigration, integration and national identity. However, they have done so mostly from a position on the margins of the industry. In contrast, since the early 2000s, MaghrebiFrench and North African migr filmmakers have occupied an increasingly prominent position on both sides of the camera, announcing their presence on French screens in a wider range of genres and styles than ever before. This greater visibility and move to the mainstream has not, however, automatically meant that these films have lost any of the social or political relevance. Indeed in the 2000s many of these films have increasingly questioned the boundaries between national, transnational and diasporic cinema, whilst simultaneously demanding, either implicitly or explicitly, a reconsideration of the very difference that has traditionally been seen as a barrier to the successful integration of North African immigrants and their descendants into French society.Through a detailed study of this transformative decade for MaghrebiFrench and North African migr filmmaking in France, this book argues for the emergence of a 'PostBeur' cinema in the 2000s that is simultaneously global and local in its outlook.Its key features include: A comprehensive overview of the key developments in MaghrebiFrench and North African migr filmmaking in France since the 2000s: counterheritage cinema and the memorialisation of Frances colonial past; journey narratives and the myth of return; the mainstreaming of MaghrebiFrench directors and stars; representations of Islam. Detailed case studies of key films from the 2000s that have yet to receive scholarly attention, such as Horslaloi, Dernier maquis and Vnus noire. An indepth analysis of trends in production, distribution and exhibition as they relate to MaghrebiFrench and North African migr filmmakers in the 2000s.An absorbing introduction to this recent cinematic tradition, PostBeur Cinema is essential reading for students and scholars in Film Studies, French Studies and Diaspora Studies.
