I am an avant-garde film scholar, curator and educator based in Poznan, Poland. My research focuses on the history, theory and practice of American experimental film in addition to independent and documentary film, ecocinema, women’s film and new media.

I am the recipient of several research grants and author of two books and circa. fifty articles, chapters and book reviews. My recent papers have appeared in Adaptation, Feminist Media Studies, Journal of Aesthetics & Culture, Mobilities, New Review of Film and Television Studies and other peer-reviewed journals. My recent book, Lost Highways, Embodied Travels (Brill, 2023), is the first book-length study of experimental road films.

I teach courses on film history, film studies and theory, experimental film and video, American and world cinema, independent film and British and American studies. I have curated film programs for the Ann Arbor Film Festival, The Film-Makers’ Cooperative (New York, NY), Siskel Film Center (Chicago, IL), Other Cinema (San Francisco, CA), UnionDocs (New York, NY) and other venues. I also write film synopses and review films for festivals, including the Ann Arbor Film Festival and CROSSROADS.

I am currently Associate Professor at the American Studies Research Unit at AMU Faculty of English. I hold a PhD in English and D.Litt in literary studies. I am now working on a book on animals in experimental film.
