Brett Kashmere is a Pittsburgh-based filmmaker, curator, and Visiting Assistant Professor of Cinema Studies at Oberlin College in Ohio, USA. His work combines traditional research methods with hybrid interfaces, handmade equipment, and materialist aesthetics. Through intricate experimental documentaries and unadorned camera movies, Kashmere explores the intersection of history and (counter-) memory, geographies of identity, and the politics of representation. His films, videos and scholarship have been presented at festivals, conferences and venues internationally and used in university curricula. The film scholar Thomas Waugh writes that Kashmere’s essay-film Valery’s Ankle, about the contradiction of hockey violence and Canadian identity, “may well give momentum (and integrity) to the discourses of sports, masculinity, and nationalism in Canadian cinemas.”
