Charlotte's research interests lie in the field of Latin American film studies, with a particular emphasis on the political work of cinema and its relationship to processes of memory. She has worked specifically on women’s cinema from Latin America, Colombian cinema (MA) and its relationship to violence and conflict and most recently Indigenous filmmaking. Her current project explores the configurations of authorship and cultural memory in relation to Indigenous film production in Latin America. This research considers the political and aesthetic contributions of documentary and fiction films that are produced by, or in some cases in collaboration with, Indigenous filmmakers and communities. In particular she is interested in issues surrounding intercultural collaborations and aesthetics, and the ways in which specific and diverse cultural repertoires are transmitted through film and circulate on an international platform.
