Author Alfio Leotta & Missy Molloy

Alfio Leotta & Missy Molloy

Alfio Leotta is a Senior Lecturer in Film at Victoria University of Wellington. His primary research interests focus on the relation between film and tourism; national cinema; the globalisation of film production; film authorship and genre. His first book 'Touring the Screen: Tourism and New Zealand Film Geographies' (Intellect, 2011) examines the representation of landscape in a number of film productions shot in New Zealand which have subsequently been used as marketing tools to attract tourists to the country. He is also the author of 'The Bloomsbury Companion to Peter Jackson' (Bloomsbury, 2016) and 'The Cinema of John Milius' (Rowman & Littlefield/Lexington, 2018). Recently, he also co-edited 'Audiovisual Tourism Promotion' (Palgrave 2022) with Diego Bonelli. Missy Molloy is a senior lecturer in film at Victoria University of Wellington. She co-edited ReFocus: The Films of Susanne Bier (Edinburgh University Press, 2018) with Meryl Shriver-Rice and Mimi Nielsen, and her teaching and research focus on women’s, queer and activist cinemas. Recent publications include ‘Fetal imagery and alternative maternities in Jane Campion’s Top of the Lake’ (Mothers of Invention, Wayne State University Press, 2022) and ‘Indigenous feminism revitalizing the long take: Waru and The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open’ (Jump Cut, 2021). Her book Screening the Posthuman (co-authored with Pansy Duncan and Claire Henry) is forthcoming from Oxford University Press.
