Migration on demand: The impact of streaming on migration cinema

Founded in April 2016, Migration Collective is a group of dynamic and creative women based in London, each holding academic interest in and personal experiences of migration. Our unique projects, events and activities tackle the intersection of art, academia and action in order to challenge the mainstream rhetoric on migration.London Migration Film Festival has become a yearly event in London. Itsgoal is to portray the diversity, nuance and subjective experience within migration - including and beyond the refugee experience - in order to restore the dignity and humanity inherent within it.

Migration Collective

Once a marginalised niche within cinema, films about migration are now quite literally moving into the mainstream, with streaming platforms from Netflix to MUBI featuring films that put the immigrant and refugee at the heart of the story. And in the era of Covid-19, streaming has never been more popular. But what is the effect of this on viewers? What kind of stories are being told and whose voices are being platformed? And is there potential for this mainstreaming to truly change how the public thinks about migration? Our exciting panel of content curators, academics, and filmmakers will consider these questions and many more.The exciting line-up of panelists is:Dr Myria Georgiou - Professor of Media and Communications, London School of EconomicsCharlie Phillips - Guardian's head of video Mo Scarpelli - Filmmaker and Director of Anbessa and El Father Plays HimselfPart of the London Migration Film Festival: https://www.migrationcollective.com/london-migration-film-festival
