Prof. Dr Charlotte Crofts 

I’m Professor of Cinema Arts at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), a filmmaker, creative producer, and researcher fascinated by the relationship between culture, place, and screen media.

My work moves fluidly between scholarship, filmmaking, curation, and public engagement. I’m interested in how cinema lives beyond the screen: in cities, in voices, in archives, and in popular memory. I make films, develop locative media and apps, curate festivals, and write about cinema history, adaptation, sound, and screen heritage.

Two figures anchor much of my research and creative practice: Angela Carter and Cary Grant. They are very different cultural icons, but both are profoundly connected to Bristol, and both invite questions about identity, performance, adaptation, place, and imagination. 

This site brings together my research, films, editorial work, festivals, and collaborative projects that explore those ideas — and I hope it encourages you to dig deeper...
