Abstract
Entrado el siglo XXI, los medios de comunicación visuales y auditivos han ocupado gradualmente una posición predominante respecto a los medios escritos a la hora de transmitir la información, tanto en lo que respecta al entretenimiento, como a la difusión e intercambio cultural, como al reflejo de la sociedad, ya sea actual o histórica. Apoyado en una creciente y eficaz tecnología, el cine ha evolucionado notablemente en las últimas décadas hasta llegar a asumir un papel fundamental en la comunicación de masas. Entre las innumerables temáticas abordadas en sus argumentos se incluye el proceso migratorio internacional, cuyo auge comienza en fechas similares a los albores de la producción cinematográfica, lo que hace suponer que de alguna manera ha podido ser influido por esta. Las películas que reflejan los avatares de los emigrantes no solo pretenden servir de espectáculo, sino que poseen un importante papel en la difusión de sus circunstancias. Si bien estas implican un sinfín de dificultades existenciales, también prometen la integración en un entorno pleno de oportunidades. Su contenido transcultural se sitúa entre dos mundos altamente diferenciados, el país de origen y el de acogida, incrementando de esta forma la comprensión y empatía entre ambos.

As the 21st century is coming, the aesthetics resorting to intuitive visual experience has gradually replaced the cultural communication using text as a medium, which has taken dominant position and become the main means of transmitting information, both in terms of entertainment, as well as cultural dissemination and exchange, as well as reflection of society, whether current or historical. Supported by a growing and efficient technology, the cinema has evolved remarkably in the last decades until it has assumed a fundamental role in mass communication. Among the innumerable topics addressed in the films, the migration is included. This type of creation takes root in the beginning of film production, which is perhaps encouraged by it to some extent. The films that reflect the vicissitudes of the immigrants are not only intended to present a special perspective, but also play an important role in spreading the information related to immigrants. Although there are endless existential difficulties in the immigrants’ life, they also promote the integration with an environment full of opportunities. The cross-cultural content can be seen between two highly differentiated worlds, namely the country of origin and the host country, thus improving the understanding and empathy. Among many cinematographic creations in the field of migration, those works directed by directors of Chinese origin are mainly taken as research objects, which show the life of Chinese immigrants in the United States...
