Personal profile
Short presentation
My main interest is film theoretical and I have long been focused on film acting and the power of performances for affecting our experience of moving image narratives. I'm the author of Spillets kunst (2003) on emotions and nonverbal meaning, and I have contributed to encyclopedias, anthologies, and journals on this and other issues. Currently I'm working on a book-length study of film acting styles between 1920 and 1980, adressing American, European and Asian actor-director collaborations. I'm particularly interested in cognitive film theory and have attended the SCSMI conferences for years. A secondary interest is that of media industries, in particular issues of distribution and ownership, and I have a particular liking for short film narratives.
I have been teaching course on film theory and analysis, as well as institutions and organizations, inclduing a course concurrent with students' internships. Since 2005 I have been a member of the board at Society for Cognitive Studies of the Moving Image, since 2017 on the board for Carl Th. Dreyers Mindefond.
