Lucas Fink

Bio

Lucas Fink received their BA in Film and Media Studies at UC Berkeley in May of 2023. They are broadly concerned with questions of cinematic / aesthetic excess in the context of black studies, queer theory, and affect theory. During their undergraduate time, Lucas became interested in the problems posed by the digital turn to classical metaphysics, classical cinematic / aesthetic perspectival regimes, and questions of film genre. They hope to extend this line of inquiry in graduate school by continuing to engage the black radical tradition and discourses on melodrama.
