TERÉZ VINCZE, PhD
Vincze_Teréz_ELTE_2 retus copyI graduated at the Faculty of Humanities of the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in Hungarian Language and Literature in 2000 and in Art Theory in 2001. I also completed studies at the Film Studies and Literary Theory programs of the same university.
I received my PhD degree at the Doctoral Programme of Aesthetics, ELTE University, in 2009. The title of my thesis was „Auteur in the Mirror: (Re)interpretation of the author’s concept in contemporary self-reflexive films”.
Prior to joining the Institute for Art Theory and Media Studies at ELTE as graduate teaching assistant in 2004, I taught Film history and Film criticism at the Film Studies program of the Vitéz János Catholic Teachers Training College in Esztergom (1999–2002), and I was visiting lecturer in History of film theory at the Department of Film Studies of ELTE (2002-2004).
I have been editor of Metropolis (Quarterly Journal on Film History and Film Theory – www.metropolis.org.hu) since 1999, and editor-in-chief between 2003 and 2009.
Currently I am assistant professor at the Department of Film Studies of ELTE.
