passionate interest in films and would be delighted to be considered for the position.

I am currently studying German an drama at leed University and my dissertation is on the topic of the
treatment of modern literature in German Cinema. This has necessitated spending a lot of time not only
watching but analysing German films, something I have thoroughly enjoyed.

My knowledge of international cinema is substantial and I am a regular reader of Film monthly. During my
last vacation, I was lucky enough to spend four weeks working on a Film-set on location in Yorkshire,
which gave me a valuable insight into cinematography

I am competent writer and have already had a number of articles published on the film society website.
