Smith Professor of Film and Media Studies at the University of Oklahoma),  Celestino Deleyto (Professor of Film and English Literature at the Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain), Leger Grindon (Professor of Film and Media Culture at Middlebury College), Rob King (Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto’s Cinema Studies Institute and Department of History),  Claire Mortimer (who teaches film and media studies at Colchester Sixth Form College) and David R.
