Martin Bonnard

Martin Bonnard is an FRQSC Postdoctoral Fellow at McGill University's Department of Art History and Communication Studies. His research focuses on the intersection of cinema's materiality, digital circulation, and automation history. He holds a doctorate in communication from Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), where his thesis examined cinephile SVOD catalogs' role in redefining cinema experiences.

His postdoctoral work, supervised by Professor Christine Ross, explores two pivotal moments in media history: cinema's institutionalization and television's emergence, contextualized within broader automation trends. He also contributes to transmedia documentary storytelling through UQAM's labdoc research group, producing innovative webdocumentaries.
