Ana Grgic
Dr. Ana Grgic is Lecturer in Film, Television and Screen Studies at Monash University Malaysia. She holds a PhD in Film Studies from the University of St Andrews, with a thesis on early cinema in the Balkans, archives and cultural memory (forthcoming monograph with Amsterdam University Press).

She is currently working on an edited collection Contemporary Balkan Cinema: Transnational Exchanges and Global Circuits, which aims to provide a critical and comprehensive analysis of post-2008 global financial crisis trends in subject-matter and aesthetics, through a transnational and cross-cultural study of the region’s national cinemas. Her scholarly contributions include articles and chapters in The Film Festival Yearbook 5: Archival Film Festivals (2013), Frames Cinema Journal (2013), Divan Film Festival Symposium Papers (2014, 2015), Cinemas of Paris (2015), Studies in Eastern European Cinema (2016), Short Film Studies (2017), Film Quarterly (2018), Images (2018) and she regularly writes for the East European Film Bulletin. She has co-edited a special issue on Albanian cinema for KinoKultura, and as a Board member of the Albanian Cinema Project she was involved in the preservation and exhibition of Balkan cinema heritage (Archives in Motion workshops).
