David Fresko is Assistant Teaching Professor of Cinema Studies at Rutgers University, and the program’s Assistant Undergraduate Director. His primary research areas include: avant-garde film and media; documentary cinema; film, photography, and media theory; intersections between film and politics; and alternative film cultural formations in the United States and the world.
