Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTom Cunliffe is a London-based film scholar and writer with 11 years’ experience bridging academia, publishing and cultural outreach. As a lecturer and MA/PhD supervisor at UCL he convenes modules on East Asian and global cinema, while also writing authoritative Blu-ray booklet essays for specialist releases and translating archival materials. He has hands-on experience promoting Chinese collections for the British Library and helped grow a major China-focused social media presence while working as a journalist in Beijing. Equally at ease with archival research and public-facing storytelling, Tom combines deep Chinese-language expertise with practical experience in curation, translation and film distribution. An unexpected thread in his profile is measurable technical contribution to open-source software—improving the hoverctl CLI for SpectoLabs’ popular API mocking tool—demonstrating versatility beyond film studies.
