I am a FRQSC Postdoctoral Fellow currently working on women鈥檚 film festivals and the geopolitics of feminism.聽I graduated from La Sapienza University of Rome, Italy with a BA in Literature and Performing Arts and I completed my MA with Honors in Film Studies at the University of Roma Tre after two exchange programs at Universit茅 Sorbonne Nouvelle 鈥� Paris 3 and at Universit茅 de Montr茅al. My Ph.D. dissertation, completed at Concordia University, examined recent practices and developments of feminist film culture that have emerged in Quebec during the past 20 years within Francophone milieus of production and distribution from the larger framework of global media circulation.聽My research interests focus on feminist film theory, transnational approaches to film studies, and reception practices. I speak English, French, and Italian.
Ph.D. Film and Moving Images Studies, Concordia University, 2023
