SANCHEZ-ESCALONILLA GARCIA-RICO, Antonio. The Crisis of the European Dream: Home and Exodus in the Recent Cinema on Migrants and Refugees (2005-2018). Revista de Comunicación [online]. 2019, vol.18, n.1, pp.277-297. ISSN 1684-0933.  http://dx.doi.org/10.26441/RC18.1-2019-A14.

In recent decades, the concepts of home, identity and exodus of migrants - common keys to the dreams of American and European prosperity - have been studied in the visual arts, especially in the cinematographic field (Harrod, Liz and Timoshkina, 2015; Celik, 2015; Sternberg and Berghahn, 2010). In this article we propose the crisis of the values of the European dream as a useful key for the study of the works of European filmmakers, or residents in Europe, who between 2005 and 2018 have made a reflection on the social values in the old continent. Among these values, this cinema has approached ideas such as integration, reception and interdependence as signs of a prosperity, on the other hand currently discussed in the common continental household.

Keywords : european dream; independent cinema; european cinema; narratives of encounter; narratives of crisis.
