About Ellie Power

I am a PhD Candidate in Film Studies at the University of Gothenburg. My PhD research project focuses on cinematic temporalities and representations of urban space. The project categorises contemporary films that use slow aesthetics to examine urban inequalities, and conceptualises their presentation of time, sound, and vision.

I am a lecturer, course facilitator, and undergraduate supervisor within Film Studies. This includes teaching on courses such as Film History 1950’s until Today, Methods in Film Studies, and Feminist Film Theory. I also teach within Media, Aesthetics and Cultural Entrepreneurship (MEK) and Cultural Studies programmes.

Prior to my current position, I taught artistic research at University of the Arts London and filmmaking at London Metropolitan University. I received my BA (Hons) in Fine Art: Print and Time-based Media from University of the Arts London. I hold an MA in Literature, Visual Culture and Film Studies (cum laude) jointly from Tallinn University and the Estonian Academy of Arts.

I am a board member of the open-access journal MAI: Feminism and Visual Culture.
