Since their arrival into Germany in the 1960s,Turkish immigrants have always drawn the attention offilmmakers. The German immigrant cinema of the 1970sand 1980s focused on the harsh living and workingconditions of these immigrants; however, it veryoften depicted immigrants in one-dimensional roles.Since the mid-1990s, however, there has been a changein the portrayals of Turkish immigrants in a new waveof films made by young German-Turkish filmmakerschallenging cultural stereotypes about Turks. Thisbook examines one film from the earlier phase ofmigrant cinema - Tevfik Baser’s 40 Square Meters ofGermany (1986) and one film from the most recentphase - Fatih Akin’s Head-On (2004)and aims to demonstrate how Turkish immigrants arerepresented in these films and whether the cinematicrepresentations of the Turkish immigrants havechanged over the years.
