I am delighted to share that my monograph ‘Women and Amateur Cinema: Redefining Authorship within the Archive’ is under contract to be published with Edinburgh University Press in 2027. 📚 #womenfilmmakers #amateurfilm

Two weeks since I had the pleasure of spending a fantastic few days at the Doing Women’s Film and Television History conference.

Great to be able to talk more about the work of amateur cine club Crystal Productions, and amplifying the voices of its female members. #DWFTH7

Random things that end up on my desk: 1912 Pathé KoK 28mm projector; beautiful piece of domestic engineering 🎞️

Pleased to share a fantastic special issue of Open Screens on Hidden Screen Industries, including my article ‘Taken by my wife’ 📕🎞️ www.openscreensjournal.com/issue/1297/i...
