OverviewFilm and television offer important insights into wider social outlooks on borders in France and Europe. This book undertakes a visual cultural history of contemporary borders and border outlooks through a film and television tour of Europe. It traces the on-screen borders of Europe from the Gare du Nord train station in Paris to Calais, London, Lampedusa and Lapland. It contends that different types of mobilities and immobilities (refugees, urban commuters, workers in a post-industrial landscape) and vantage points (from borderland forests, ports, train stations, airports, refugee centers) are all part of a complex French and European border narrative. It covers a wide range of examples, from popular films and TV series to auteur fiction and documentaries by well-known directors from across Europe and beyond.
