The Global Circulations of Film Theory network comprised a group of international scholars who work on African, Asian, European, Latin American, and Soviet film theory, and who share a common critique of film theory’s western imperialist foundations.

The overarching aim of the network project (January 2023-October 2024) was not only to broaden through widescale collaborative research the understanding of what theory is and can do; it was also to set the agenda for how theory might continue to circulate in the light of our global approach.
