Bori Máté is a doctoral student at the Department of Media theory. She studied film history and film theory at the Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. Her current research focuses on contemporary experimental/ documentaries that address the questions of ecological trauma. In her work she employs new materialist, phenomenological and eco-philosophical approaches, as well as, decolonial thinking. Máté has been publishing articles at such journals as the Quarterly Review of Film and Video and the Millennium Film Journal. As an experimental filmmaker, her works have been screened at festivals like the Berlin Critics’ Week, the International Film Festival Rotterdam or the Jihlava IDFF. In May 2022 Máté also curated the program Eco Cinema (screening and lecture)—a collaboration between the joint university program Lectures for Future and the Department of Media theory.
