His books include Spectacle of Property: The House in American Film (2017), Stupendous, Miserable City: Pasolini’s Rome (2011), a BFI Classics volume on Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon (first published in 2011 and released in a second, revised edition in 2020), as well as several edited volumes.

We are very grateful to Professor Emma Wilson, the founding general editor of the series, for all of her work. This changing of the guard, after many years of service, also sees two other lomg-serving committee members stepping down: Erica Carter and Robert Gordon. Our thanks go also to them. Their successors on the Moving Image committee will be anmounced shortly.
