About

Leo Enticknap has been a lecturer in the Institute of Communications Studies at the University of Leeds since 17 November 2006. His research interests are the cultural and economic history of moving image, audio and allied media technologies; the theory, practice and ethics of archival film preservation and restoration; non-fiction film before 1950 (especially newsreels, cinemagazines, sponsored, educational and amateur films); and Weimar and Nazi cinema. He oversees the non-practical elements of the BA Cinema and Photography delivery within the ICS, and is the director and manager of the Institute's on-campus cinema.  He formerly served as the Institute's Director of Learning and Teaching.

Formerly the curator of the Northern Region Television Archive, Enticknap maintains close links with the archive sector, and since 2008 has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Association of Moving Image Archivists.  He undertakes occasional consultancy and other work related to moving image preservation.

Enticknap's current research project, nearing completion, is a monograph on the history, technique and cultural of film restoration, 'Film Restoration: The Culture and Science of Audiovisual Preservation', scheduled for publication later this year.
