Screening Displacement: A Qualitative Study of Immigrant Identity in Contemporary Diasporic Cinema

This paper examines how contemporary diaspora films, in the context of globalization, represent the complex identities of immigrants through their unique narrative and aesthetic strategies. This study uses a qualitative research method to analyze the visual and linguistic diversity of Diaspora Films after 2010. It is found that immigrant identity in film performance is a process of continuous change and renewal across multiple dimensions, including character identity, digital home, and memory landscape. This kind of identity is not the presentation of a binary opposition, but is creatively reconstructed in the Third Space proposed by Bhabha; it reflects the continuous efforts and integration of discrete individuals in the cultural crevice to seek belonging and self-definition.
