Jonathan Walley Read Bio Collapse
Jonathan Walley is Associate Professor of Cinema at Denison University. His primary research interest is avant-garde or experimental film. He has published extensively on this subject, and especially on “expanded cinema,” which refers to works that alter or abandon the familiar materials, forms, and spaces of conventional filmmaking. These include film and video installation, live performances using film projection, and moving-image works that cross boundaries between cinema and other art forms. His book, Cinema Expanded: Avant-Garde Film in the Age of Intermedia, was published in 2020 by Oxford University Press. His scholarship on avant-garde film and expanded cinema has also appeared in October, The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, The Moving Image Review and Art Journal, Millennium Film Journal, and The Velvet Light Trap, and in numerous collections of writings on avant-garde art and cinema. He lives in Columbus, Ohio.
