Research
Research Interests and Projects
Film and Memory
My PhD, Memories Made in Seeing: Film as Memory, Memory as Film, considered how films represent memories and, in turn, become memories themselves, and how this can inform our understanding of the importance of remembrance and its depiction. This is an ongoing interest.
Experimental film and artist moving image.
Curatorially I am investigating a ‘discursive’ methodology with accompanying exhibition strategies, which focuses on experimental film and artist moving image. This was most recently explored through the publication Film Talks: 15 Conversation on Experimental Cinema and its accompanying screening series Film Talks: Live.
