Research Areas
Background
Research Interests
Most of the research focus on minor cinemas and has been carried out within the scope of extensive research projects funded by the Swedish Research Council: Swedish Experimental Cinema (2006-08); The Stockholm Film Workshop and the Cultural Politics of Minor Cinemas (2010-12); The Cultural Practice of Immigrant Filmmaking (2013-2015); and a current project on the histories of the New American Cinema tours in Europe and the emergence of European experimental film cultures (2021-2024)
Ongoing Research
Together with Miguel Fernandez-Labayén (Madrid) I have a project about the histories of the New American Cinema tours in Europe and the emergence of European experimental film cultures (2021-2024). I am also researching the Swedish history and context of the film "Finally Got the News" (1970). A long-term project is research on time and experimental film.
