Laura Lux

Laura Lux is an independent researcher in film studies with a practice in film programming. She completed her PhD at King’s College London in 2023. Her doctoral research examined how the German essay filmmaker Harun Farocki engaged with the media debates and practices of the West German student movement in his early filmmaking. Beyond her thesis, she has also written on the filmmaker pair Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet. Between 2018 and 2023, she has held positions as a researcher and conference organiser for the GSSN project Circulating Cinema and taught film studies at undergraduate level. Her work has been presented at the Institute of Modern Languages Research and conferences including BAFTSS and Visible Evidence. Building on her research in experimental film, she has since worked as a programmer and curator. In 2024, she curated the experimental film exhibition Images at Work at Casino Luxembourg and a sister screening at the Cinémathèque in Luxembourg.
