Profile

Wendy Haslem teaches, researches and publishes on the intersections of film history and new media.  Her research includes: Gothic film, film noir, cinema of the 1950s, Atomic culture, trauma cinema, censorship, Japanese film, Australian film culture and industry. Wendy is interested in the impact of new forms of exhibition on the archive. She is the author of 'A Charade of Innocence and Vice': Hollywood Gothic Films of the 1940s (2009) and she is a co-editor for the anthology Super/Heroes: From Hercules to Superman (2007). She is currently researching the evolution of the Gothic from silent cinema to new media for her book Gothic Projections: From Méliès to New Media.

Wendy has been developing projects designed to use new media to study film history. In collaboration with Associate Professor Angela Ndalianis, she has been awarded an ITMM Grant to create The Godzilla Project - an interactive, multi media project that encourages students to engage with complex issues of film and history analytically and creatively. She has also been awarded funding to support The Chinese Film Project – an investigative research and conservation project examining 126 films on celluloid that are held in ACMI's collection.
