Alongside my career, I have maintained a long-standing involvement in film research, publishing and the arts. Since the early 1990s, I have contributed to books, specialist magazines and festivals, while supporting editorial work for arts organisations. Together, these activities reflect a sustained commitment to cinema, publishing and cultural heritage.
