LA CULTURA CINEMATOGRÁFICA ALEMANA CON TRASFONDO MIGRATORIO. FATIH AKIN Y SU TRANSCULTURALIDAD

Abstract

Turkish emigration to Germany in the mid-twentieth century was so far-reaching that fictional and non-fictional stories emerged in the arts, including film. This paper focuses on "migration cinema" or "Turkish-German cinema", which deals with ethnic minorities. The main objective is to discover another peculiar and personal view of the filmmaker Fatih Akin as one of the greatest exponents of contemporary German film with a migratory background. In order to do it, an analytical and critical methodology is used for both the so-called German-Turkish-film and in most of the films of the filmmaker in question. The analysis questions its evolution and characterisation up to the present day. As the most relevant results, it is possible to identify this kind of film and this director as transcultural.
