Abstract
Berlin, Barcelona, and Buenos Aires are all dynamic and fascinating metropoles that have been represented in a variety of films that have chronicled political events during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries as well as the effects of transnational mobility and globalization. These cities, which are important financial and political centres, continue to attract the attention of local and foreigners alike for their magnificent urban layout as well as for the contemporary challenges they face. In this class, we will examine the cinematic representation of these B cities, both by domestic and international filmmakers. We will consider the urban layout of these cities that facilitate or render difficult the flow of ideas, peoples, and objects.
