Catherine Grant is an internationally recognised figure in videographic film criticism and formerly Professor of Digital Media and Screen Studies at Birkbeck, University of London. Her work explores how moving image and sound can be used to think through cinema, rather than just illustrating ideas. She has published widely on film style, spectatorship, and audiovisual analysis, and her videographic essays have been featured in Sight & Sound’s Best Video Essays of the year on multiple occasions. Catherine is also the founder of [Film Studies For Free], a widely used resource for film scholarship, and has played a leading role in shaping videographic criticism as a creative and critical practice.
