Abstract
The text is an attempt at the broadest possible approach to the issue of migration in film on the example of German cinema. To this end, the author introduces four analytical categories, within which she defines individual contexts of migratory cinema – that is, cinema created by artists with such experience and, although not necessarily, devoted to this subject – while assigning them specific film works. Fiuk calls these categories spaces, deriving the relevance of this term from the significance of various types of space for the migration phenomenon: territories, spheres, areas, fields, and then classifies them as: space of time, place, culture and medium. In addition, to characterize migration cinema in Germany, she uses the concepts of post-migration, trans-culturality and trans-nationality, referring to existing theories, but also proposing her own understanding of these terms.
