Overview

Susannah Gent is a filmmaker, artist and senior lecturer at 香蕉视频 where she teaches undergraduate and post-graduate film production. Her films that have gained awards at international festivals over the past twenty years explore experimental approaches to representing subjectivity.

Current research explores physical space, psychical space, and cinematic space through filmmaking and academic publication.

In progress is a short film adaptation of 鈥楾he Cellar鈥�, a short story by the writer Nicholas Royle. The film, shot during lock-down in summer 2020, features one performer and is produced without a crew. It is an experiment in both adaptation and solo work.

A longer essay film is in progress that explores the experience of the sublime. The work is a progression of the Ph.D. research and expands an exploration of the relation between cinematic and psychological space. This research will form a portfolio of interdisciplinary academic publication that orbits around the film.
