Dan Strutt

Dan Strutt from London is working on a PhD on affective aesthetics in the moving image in the Department of Media and Communications at Goldsmiths, supported by an AHRC Fellowship

“The core courses ('the magical and the real', and 'time and space') totally changed my approach to media in general, raising it to a more philosophical outlook on the multidimensionality of screen images and on experience in general.”

Jane Juyeon Son

Jane Juyeon Son was a film journalist in Seoul, Korea, and now works as the London correspondent for South Korea’s leading film magazine, Cine 21. She has published Walking in London, a travelogue for Korean readers, and is currently working on a second book about haunted places in the UK.

"I've matured through this course, especially my film reviews. I can see deeper into films, understanding hidden metaphors using the theories I've learnt. This has given me the confidence to criticize films more sharply."

Maria O’Brien

Maria O’Brien came to us from a career in law. She is now working on a PhD on Ang Lee in the Department of Film Studies at Trinity College in Dublin.

"While working as a lawyer, I always loved watching films in my spare time. At Goldsmiths, I realised that I could follow my dream and turn my love of film into a full-time academic pursuit. I found that the lecturers were simultaneously approachable and inspiring and helped me to use my work and life experience to my advantage."
