Tulisan ini mengkaji sinema yang membahas eksistensi dan representasi
masyarakat diaspora dan bagaimana kontribusi film mampu memantik dampak dan
memberikan agensi untuk menantang status quo dari narasi dominan yang merepresi
medium film dikarenakan adanya paradigma neo-orientalisme dalam proses
pembuatan film itu sendiri. Film dalam penelitian ini dilihat sebagai medium
advokasi yang fungsi politisnya tidak hanya dibatasi sebagai alat propaganda
belaka, namun film dalam konteks sinema diaspora juga dapat menciptakan transisi
narasi dalam melihat masayrakat marjinal sebagai subaltern dengan
gerakan-gerakan emansipatorisme alternatif.
This article provides a study that discuss the representation of
diaspora communities presented in the film genre called diasporic cinema and
how cinema can facilitate voices to be brought with agency to challenges the
dominant narratives of status quo that repressed film medium that intertwined with
neo-orientalism paradigm that affects the political process behind the film
production itself. In this research article, film can be overlooked as beacon
of voices for its political function and to offer a justification to tackle the
basic assumption of political film that often seems like a propaganda
instrument. However, this research wants to deep dive into the possibilities of
film as a medium to initiate the narratives transition to see subaltern subject
with alternative emancipatory movement with the framing of premises.
