Dr Andrew Russell
Biography
I am a Lecturer in Film and Animation at the , specialising in global cinema, screen representation, and film theory. My research examines the cultural politics of representation in Western film and television, with a particular focus on Southeast Asian cinema and Thai film. Drawing on postcolonial theory and critical media studies, my work interrogates processes of misrepresentation, exoticisation, and the construction of cultural “otherness,” alongside practices of reclamation within non-Western screen cultures. I am also interested in film aesthetics, particularly slow cinema, and its relationship to spectatorship, temporality, and global art cinema traditions. I contribute to theoretical debates on transnational cinema and identity in global media contexts.
I am the course leader for the BA Animation degree.
