Dr Simon Brown

About

I am associate professor of Film and Television and joined Kingston University in 2004 after spending a decade at the BFI National Film and Television Archive, sourcing and restoring old films. From that work came my love of film history, and also my PHD which was on the early years of the British film industry. Over the course of my career, I've written about and taught a range of Film, TV and Media related subjects such as Film History and Technology, National Cinemas including Britain, China and Hong Kong, Cult Film and Television, Horror, Adaptation, Censorship, Documentary and the History of Non-Fiction Film, Archiving and the Media Industry as well as Contemporary American Film and Television. I currently teach on the BA Creative Writing (Film Pathway) and on the MA Film Studies. I am also the PGR Co-ordinator for the School of Creative and Cultural Industries.
