Looking forward to co-presenting an invited talk with @sadiecouture.bsky.social at the German Historical Institute in Washington DC.

We'll discuss how we built - and more importantly have sustained - our Library of Congress academic/federal collaborative research project, now in its 12th year.

I found 16mm films about Turkey in the middle of the United States and I wanted to understand why they were made.
After years of research, I uncovered why they were sponsored, how they circulated, how they were received, and what they communicated.

Buy this book! I had the opportunity to blurb it and can confidently say it’s a superb analysis of film, propaganda, race and national
identity

Thank you for your generous endorsement, Bilge! I’m truly honored by your support.

Despite it all, our collaborative federal/academic research project has been renewed for two more years. Still featuring hundreds of scholars, archivists, curators, and policy analysts. We might be the last game in town for Film and Media Studies, but the need for memory research continues...

Below, a black-and-white archival photograph shows several men operating film cameras and tripods on a hillside overlooking a dense cityscape, suggesting documentary or state media production.

Very excited to announce my first book 🪄 Film Diplomacy 📽️ is forthcoming with @columbiaup.bsky.social.
