Jon Inge Faldalen is Associate Professor and Founder of Screen Cultures at the Department of Media and Communication at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Oslo, Norway, where he teaches courses in film history, film theory, alternative film, and audiovisual aesthetics. His doctoral dissertation “STILLMOVING” (2021) examines the aesthetics of stillness in moving images through conceptualizing and theory-building analyses of works of among others the Lumières and James Benning. Faldalen’s long-standing research prism is what he calls the still Einstellung (i.e., a static long take).
