I work chiefly on comparative approaches to the study of film, particularly forms of film scholarship and criticism concerned with aesthetic questions attentive to film language and its internal structures of relation. My recent research has focussed on the following areas: documentary and the visual arts; political cinema; film, modernism and adaptation; documentary and the politics of mental illness.
