The Centre for Interdisciplinary Film Research (CIFR) comprises of the extensive range of research, teaching and activities undertaken across the broad field of Film and Television Studies. It is the hub for research activity in Film Studies both within the College of Humanities and across the university. CIFR organises research events, hosts guest speakers and fosters links between researchers at the university and external partners. Recent speakers include Murray Pomerance, Patrick Keating and Catherine Grant.
The Centre also has strong collaborative links with the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum, the largest university research collection on cinema and popular culture in the UK.
We run a regular seminar series showcasing research from visiting speakers, academics working on film and film-related projects from across the University of Exeter, and the research of our community of postgraduate students.
