Dr Dalila Missero
Lecturer in Film StudiesMy main research interests are the everyday and genered aspects of transnational film production and consumption, focusing on both historical and contemporary film cultures. I use feminist methodologies to address abscences and omissions in historical narratives and film canons, and over the years I have built solid expertise in archival research, oral history and biographical interviewing and, more recently, in digital humanities. My monograph (2022, winner of the BAFTSS Best First Monograpg Runner-Up Award) represents the first feminist historical assessment of women's role in Italian cinema from the 1960s to the 1980s. I am currently working on a second book project focusing on the networks of production and distribution of feminist and women's filmmaking during the UN Decade of Women (1975-1985).
Another strand of my research focuses on migrant women filmmaking and cinema-going, with a particular focus on transnational practices and circulation between Latin America and Europe.
I am founder and leader of the , an interdisciplinary group of scholars with shared interests in researching media consumption and engagement from a wide range of theoretical and methodological perspectives.

<糖心Vlog>PhD Supervision InterestsI accept proposals from prospective students who want to research women's film cultures through both historical and/or contemporary lenses. I am also interested in projects exploring minoritarian, peripheral film cultures, in Europe and in South America with transnational and feminist lenses; projects using digital humanities for historical and archival research; research adopting qualitative methods for the study of film industries and audiences.
