معرفی
Dr. Kathrina Glitre is a Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), working within the College of Arts, Technology and Environment. She holds a PhD from the University of Reading and serves on the editorial boards of Movie: A Journal of Film Criticism and Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media. She is an active member of UWE's Moving Image Research Group, the British Association for Film, Television and Screen Studies, and Screen Studies South West.
Her research focuses on film genre, contemporary film culture, acting in Hollywood cinema, film style and aesthetics, and screen representation, with particular interest in the interaction of creative, aesthetic and industry factors, and representations of gender and sexuality. Dr. Glitre is currently developing a research project on genre canons, 'classic' movies and contemporary film culture using quantitative data analysis of plot summaries alongside qualitative analysis of cinema programming. She also continues her extensive work on Cary Grant, serving as Academic Adviser for the Cary Grant Comes Home for the Weekend Festival.
Dr. Glitre's publications reveal a trajectory from traditional film criticism toward integrating computational methods, particularly in genre analysis. Her work spans romantic comedy, noir, horror, crime, and psychological thrillers across both transnational and Hollywood contexts. She has authored a monograph on Hollywood Romantic Comedy (2006) and co-edited Neo-Noir (2009), with recent publications examining Cary Grant's performances, Production Code-era films, and computational approaches to genre classification.
As an educator, she teaches modules on Film Genre, Contemporary Cinema, Adaptation: Screenwriting and Narrative Form, and supervises Independent Projects in Film Studies, bringing her research expertise directly into the classroom to explore the evolving landscape of film culture and criticism.
