Dr Alexander Fisher

My primary research activities explore the political dimensions of sound and music in international film, with a particular focus on sub-Saharan African cinemas. I am also interested in the aesthetic, cultural and political aspects of 'world cinema', as well as the way these are affected by developments in online distribution. My broader interests include postcolonialism and film, Third Cinema, diasporic cinemas, and authorship. Additionally, I am always interested in projects that investigate how cross-cultural and/or cross-disciplinary readings of cinema may inform established debates in film studies.
