About me
Hugo Ljungbäck is a filmmaker, archivist, and media scholar whose work examines the intersections of queer art, experimental film and video, media archaeology, and archival studies. He is currently a PhD Student in Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Chicago, where he is developing a dissertation project on mid-century queer amateur filmmaking, an almost wholly overlooked chapter of the history of queer cinema. He also serves as Co-chair of the Association of Moving Image Archivists’ Small Gauge and Amateur Film Committee and Co-Secretary of Domitor, the International Society for the Study of Early Cinema.
