Corey Cribb
Corey P. Cribb holds an MSc in Film Studies from the University of Edinburgh and a PhD in Screen and Cultural Studies from the University of Melbourne. His research interrogates the question of “sense” (i.e. meaning) and its relation to “the sensible” (i.e. affect) in French film theory and philosophy. He is presently working on his debut monograph, Film and the Philosophy of Sense, which analyses debates over cinematic meaning in France from the 1940s to the present, tracing their development from auteurist phenomenology, to structuralist semiotics, to contemporary philosophical approaches to cinema.
