She just finished a PhD thesis that endeavors to develop a typology of contemporary hands-on usages of obsolete film technologies. A few of her areas of interest include ‘minor’ film genres, such as useful or amateur cinema, the underrepresentation of animation in film studies and the efforts of preserving and restoring cinematic heritage, especially in non-western countries. She aims to explore these topics by fusing archival work, research, editing, teaching, and curating.
