A collection of films reflecting the immigrant experience in its many aspects—of culture shock dislocation, of the phantom limb ache of nostalgia for home, and of discoveries both frightening and liberating—this series places canonical classics from Rainer Werner Fassbinder (Ali: Fear Eats the Soul) and Ousmane Sembène (Black Girl) alongside more recent works by Lee Isaac Chung (Minari) and Johanna Makabi (Our Memory), together reflecting on the particularities of immigrant experience across the years and in the crossing of a variety of different borders, while suggesting certain correspondences carrying from one story to another.
