Kristian O Moen is an Associate Professor at the University of Bristol, specializing in Film and Television Screen Research. His research interests include animation, film history theory, intermediality, and the relationship between cinema and modernity. Moen's notable work includes the book 'Film Fairy Tales: Birth of Modern Fantasy' published by I. B. Tauris in 2013, which explores the deep connections between fairy tales and spectacle cinema over decades. His focus has since shifted towards animation, reflected in his role as the Principal Investigator for a five-year project funded by the European Research Council, entitled 'The Idea of Animation', which investigates the emergence of animation from 1915 to 1940 across France, the United States, and the United Kingdom. This project has resulted in several articles and the book 'New York's Animation Culture: Advertising, Art, Design Film, 1939-1940', published by Palgrave in 2019. Moen's research continues to evolve, concentrating on issues related to animation history and theory.
