CIFR’s international scope corresponds to my recent research on the intersections between architecture and cinema, on questions of exile and migration in relation to film, and on the history of film studios in Germany.
Tim Bergfelder
Professor of Film Studies
CIFR provides a home for my research on contemporary Hong Kong cinema, Chinese-language film industries, and film festivals, which has led to special screenings of Hong Kong films, jointly presented with the Hong Kong Film Festival (UK) and the Harbour Lights Picturehouse (Southampton).
Ruby Cheung
Head of Department
CIFR is a valuable network that has allowed me to establish ongoing collaborations with scholars from different disciplines who work on moving images and share my interests in television and the visual cultures of science.
