Dina Iordanova is a notable specialist in world cinema, with special expertise in the cinema of the Balkans, Eastern Europe, and Europe in general. Her research approaches cinema on a meta-national level and focuses on the dynamics of transnational film; she has special interest in issues related to cinema at the periphery and in alternative historiography. She has published extensively on international and transnational film art and film industry, and convenes research networks on film festivals and on the dynamics of global cinema.
She has been credited with creating the Film Studies programme at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland’s first University (founded 1413), where she was appointed to their first ever Chair in Film and engaged in a wide-ranging effort to modernize effort the University’s portfolio, bringing the programme to an internationally respected status within a short time. She also founded the Centre for Film Studies, which she currently directs.
