Abstrakt: The article discusses intercultural cinema. Intercultural cinema is characterized by experimental styles that attempt to represent the experience of living between two or more cultural regimes of knowledge, or living as a minority in the still majority white, Euro-American West. The violent disjunctions in space and time that characterize diasporan experience, the physical effects of exile, immigration and displacement cause a disjunction in notions of truth. Intercultural films and videos offer a variety of ways of knowing and representing the world. Intercultural cinema is a movement insofar as it is the emerging expression of a group of people who share the political issues of displacement and hybridity, though their individual circumstances vary widely.
