Research Interests

My research interests center around an intersection of inter-Asia studies, transnational film and screen cultures, and film festival studies, particularly on the relations between the film movements, the politics of auteurism, and the institutional contexts of exhibition, circulation, and criticism. Currently I am interested in the issues of mobility, infrastructure, and affect in inter-Asia cinema and media.
