Film & Video
I began making experimental films in 1999, while studying in the UK and got my PhD in Film in 2010. One of my key interests is the relationship between poetic film languages and identity politics with a specific focus on DIY queer post-internet aesthetics. My films have been showcased in festivals worldwide. I also teach film and moving image theory at Buckinghamshire New University.
