Paris is a diverse and vibrant city. Not only is it the political and cultural capital of France, but it is home to many immigrants and the descendents of immigrants.
Paris is also a popular location for films, however these films seem not to represent the diversity that is present in the city. Clips of the films can be seen by clicking on the photo. I have taken the locations of the scenes, in some cases the spot in which the whole scene occurs, in other cases a spot in which the scene occurs, or an approximation of where the scene might occur in a neighborhood, and placed this on to the accompanying map.
At times my locating has relied on a lived experience of Paris. Not all locations are made explicit in the scenes. However, ultimately I am not only looking for diversity as portrayed in the movies themselves, but also looking to see how these scenes are located within Paris.
