Abstract: From the 1920s to the end of the Second World War and beyond, the legacy and contribution of exiles, including their contribution to aesthetic trends, production methods, professional training and to technological development in the film industry of their host country has always been prominent. Within the field of film history in the 20th century, the legacy and contribution of exiles in culturally significant, migratory processes and cultural exchanges on a host of diferent countries and cultural contexts have been ignored, as a result of overwhelming focus on Hollywood . Such as the history of émigrés in the British film industry in this periods remains largely unknown. This essay aims to map some of the reasons for this neglect, while also pointing towards new interventions and theoretical perspectives.

摘要： 从1920年到二战结束前后，欧洲，尤其是从纳粹德国流亡的电影人对其所在国家电影工业的美学潮流、制片方式、专业培训，以及技术发展等方面发挥了重要的影响。但世界电影史研究中，由于对好莱坞影响的过分关注，使在这一领域其他流亡地电影人文化活动的关注，以及他们所体现的文化价值诸方面的影响长期遭到忽视。本文试图描述导致这一情况的部分原因，并就这一时期英国电影工业不为人知的流亡电影人文化活动提出新的研究视角和理论观点。
