Lola R茅my is a FRQSC postdoctoral fellow. She completed her PhD at Concordia University in the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema (2023), and her MA in Art History at Universit茅 Paris Sorbonne 鈥� Paris 4 (2016). Her current research project, Affect in the Archive: An Alternative History of the Avant-Garde, is an oral history that centres women鈥檚 affective and gendered labour in experimental film archives. This work offers to reexamine women鈥檚 labour in founding, organizing, and managing archives as a labor of care, often rooted in their personal relations to filmmakers. It centers women as crucial agents of the circulation, funding, and archiving of experimental cinema. Lola鈥檚 research on archives as sites of cultural encounters, racial and gendered violence, and reappropriation by communities and artists has appeared in The Canadian Journal of Film Studies, Frames Cinema Journal, NECSUS European Journal of Media Studies, and Synoptique, An Online Journal of Film and Moving Image Studies.
