Anne Gjelsvik
About
I am a professor of film studies at the Department of Art and Media Studies, NTNU, where I teach contemporary film and film analysis. As a researcher, I am particularly interested in the relationship between contemporary film and society, with a special emphasis on Norwegian and American fiction films.
I have written numerous books and articles (both in English and Norwegian) on topics such as film criticism, terrorism, violence in film, adaptation, and ecocriticism. My latest book is about the films of Joachim Trier (see publications)
RESEARCH INTERESTS:
- Norwegian and American contemporary film
- Memory culture
- Terrorism in the media
- Ecocriticism
- Media theory, intermediality, and adaptation
- Gender representation in film
- Film criticism
I am currently working on two different projects related to Norwegian film culture: an individual project on Joachim Trier and one on memory culture after July 22nd (see more under research and publications).
I am increasingly interested in ecocriticism and am a member of the research network Environmental Humanities at NTNU, and the NOS-HS network MIINE, which looks at the relationship between ecology and media, and is developing a book project on nature and the climate crisis in Norwegian film.
I am a regular contributor to the film journal Montages, where I write about Norwegian film in the column “Analysen” (see more under konwledge transfer)
Research
As a researcher, I am particularly interested in the relationship between contemporary film and society, with a special focus on Norwegian and American fiction films. Currently, I am involved in three international projects: “Making Memories” at the University of Agder, “Translatability of Oil” at the University of Oslo, and “ENGRO” (Environmental Grotesque) at Linnaeus University in Växjö. In all these projects, I explore Norwegian cinema and television. During the fall of 2024, I will participate in several seminars and events related to Joachim Trier, both domestic and international.
