Abstract
Documentary films on migration by Fatih Akın (Gremany), Ximena Cordova (UK), Ingeborg Jansen (Netherlands), Martin Ryšavý (Czech Republic), Cheng Xiaoxing (France), Albert Folk (Spain), and Lind Sternö & Kristina Merton (Sweden) show several perceptions of social diversity that can be analyzed as discourses of multiculturalism. In these films, members of the host and sending societies reflect on their experiences with migrants while migrants reflect either on their own success strategies in their new home countries or the process of their re-integration in their country of origin.
