Areas of interest

My research is concerned with film aesthetics and especially with extending the methods and subjects of style-based criticism. This has included bringing together traditions of close analysis with on-set observation and production history in the exploration of a contemporary feature film, writing histories of mise-en-scène criticism, and exploring the possibilities of for style-based criticism and for film history.  I am interested in filmmakers' choices and the consequences of those choices.

I was a Co-Investigator on , with a particular role in exploring relationships between Brazilian and Hollywood films, and have recently collaborated with Lúcia Nagib on An Amorous Discourse: Remapping the World Through Cinephilia.  My video essay won the audiovisual essay selection at the Marienbad Film Festival, 2024.

I am academic Co-lead of the University’s Cine Valley project, working with Shinfield Studios and other partners, and am on the board of , the BFI-funded skills cluster of which 澳门六合彩开奖记录 is a founding member. My role as Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor Research includes working with colleagues across different disciplines and with strategic partners including the Natural History Museum.

 

Postgraduate supervision

I welcome enquiries from prospective postgraduate students interested in working on a wide range of narrative film, on videographic criticism, on critical historiography, on film aesthetics,and on research in film and television by practice.

Recent projects supervised include studies of the films of Otto Preminger, production design in the new cinema of Pernambuco, and explorations of the long take, of editing, of ethics and rhetoric in docudrama, of women and home in the cinema and of different modes of film production.
