Bio/CV:
Nita studies the development of convention in motion pictures alongside the history of film formats. She is interested in how material contingency shaped the limits for expression, the identification of the spectator, and the articulation of social norms in moving image practices. Her current research centers on the composition of the plastic negative support and the linking of cinema, as a set of formal expectations, to a specific context of production and distribution (the studio picture). She holds a BA in Art History from Reed College.
