Enjoyed presenting my research on the shift towards trans autoethnographies in non-fiction filmmaking and trans archival practices for #baftss2025

Had a wonderful time at @baftss2025.bsky.social - every panel was stimulating, packed with interesting ideas and new perspectives. Thanks to the team at @warwickfilmtv.bsky.social and colleagues for organising it so fluidly!

Watched Children of the Wicker Man today at #BAFTSS2025 - a film that delves deep into fractious family relationships surrounding the film, not to mention the fascinating details about the film’s chequered production. Amazing work @ellwrig.bsky.social, Chris Nunn & all! 🙏 #childrenofthewickerman

Thank you Rick, Mary, Douglas, James and Pietari and the whole team. You have worked so very hard. BAFTSS is a special conference: it’s always uniquely BAFTSS, but it’s also unique to the host institution each time. Can’t wait to see what it’s like at Bournemouth. (But first some rest.)

And that’s a wrap for #baftss2025. Thanks so much to @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social for their expert facilitation! #baftss #filmstudies #conference #uniofwarwick @baftss2025.bsky.social @baftss.bsky.social
