‘From the interplanetary travel and alien encounters of science fiction 
films to the exploratory drive and spiritual growth associated with road 
movies, journeys both actual and metaphorical have been central to the 
motion picture medium since its origins as a technological curiosity 
over a century ago. The contributors to this appropriately 
globe-trotting, border-crossing collection — with chapters focusing on 
migrant narratives in Romanian cinema, diasporic themes in Indian 
filmmaking, and everything in-between — make the case that the story of 
the movies is and has always been the story of moving. In an age of mass 
deportations and international travel bans, Journeys on Screen reminds 
us of the need for cross-cultural connectedness and cosmopolitan 
understanding of other people and places, and is sure to inspire a 
restorative wanderlust in its readers.’
