Publications

My recent research activity has centred on the completion, publication, and public dissemination of my first monograph, Assembly Lines: Montage in Post-war French Film (University of Minnesota Press, 2026), while extending this work into new projects on film analysis, audiovisual pedagogy, archival cinema, and public screen culture. Current outputs include a co-authored monograph on Battleship Potemkin for Lever Press’s Film/Minutes series, an article under review with Studies in Australasian Cinema, invited international research talks, conference papers, and public-facing programs connected to archives, montage, and historical film culture.
