Maisie Pearce, BA (Hons).

I am an English born Artistic Research student at the University of Amsterdam; department of Art and Performance Research Studies and Art and Culture. My specialism is Poetic Cinema (in the many ways that takes form!), taking interest from an interdisciplinary perspective of poetry, prose, music and philosophy. During my undergraduate at Royal Holloway: University of London, I discovered an appreciation of experimentation within institutional academia, merging my practice and research in a certain lyricism; I also completed a Creating The Short course with the National Film and Television School to further this practice. This challenges classical academic style while allowing for an auto-ethnographic account to emerge, thus complementing the medium of film and literature in form and response. Big influences of my work come from the sentimentality of modernist writers like Fernando Pessoa, Franz Kafka and Virgina Woolf, and filmmakers like Chantal Akerman and Wim Wenders. It is this sentiment I wish to continue in my research.
