Frank Sanna is a part-time faculty member in the Communication Studies and Cinema programs at Concordia University. He holds an MFA in Studio Arts with a focus on Film Production from Concordia University and a BA in Graphic Design from Sheridan College. Sanna's teaching and research practice aims to help students discover and understand their own voice in relation to identity and belonging through various creative expressions that blend traditional and hybrid forms of documentary and fiction filmmaking. His recent inquiries resonate with cognitive linguistics, particularly in understanding metaphor and language as they emerge from lived, relational experiences. Drawing from his extensive professional background as an art director and graphic designer in film and television, Sanna emphasizes the importance of personal and relational contexts in the creation of meaning. His work seeks to challenge the modern legacy of objectivism by exploring how meaning is constructed through active, embodied participation in the world.
