About
My work is invested in combining methodologies derived from film theory, film historiography and the practice of close analysis in innovative ways. I am particularly interested in theories of cinematic narration (agency, rhetoric, self-consciousness etc.), the representation of history (the relationship between film style and ideology) and the theorisation of film spectacle (especially in the genres of the musical and the historical film). I have a broader interest in the relationship between audio-visual technologies and film style. I recently completed a monograph on the role of direct address (fictional characters who acknowledge the audience's 'presence') and am currently working on an edited collection (with Belen Vidal) on the 'biopic' (biographical film) in contemporary international film culture, as well as developing plans for further work on the 'spectacular' in cinema.
