Dr Kingsley Marshall

Head of Film & Television

Dr Kingsley Marshall is Head of Film & Television at the CILECT accredited School of Film & Television, based within Falmouth University, UK. The ScreenSkills accredited subject area consists of 25 staff working with over 500 undergraduates, supplemented by a postgraduate community studying from MA level through to PhD. He is an external examiner at the University of the West of England.

As a film practitioner working within Falmouth University's Sound/Image Cinema Lab, Kingsley is involved in the production of short and micro-budget feature films. He was executive producer on the feature films "Wilderness" (Director: Justin John Doherty, 2017), "The Tape" (Director: Martha Tilston, 2021) and "Long Way Back" (Director: Brett Harvey, 2021) and produced "Backwoods" (Director: Ryan Mackfall, 2019) with Neil Fox. Working again with Myskatonic Films, he is currently developing Ryan's next project "The Birdwatcher" and an untitled feature film project. As a composer Kingsley worked with director Mark Jenkin ("Bait", 2019), writing the score for "Hard, Cracked the Wind" (2019), and with Rachael Jones on "Dean Quarry" (2021).

Kingsley's research focuses on cultures of production, the representation of asymmetrical conflict and the ethics of artificial intelligence. He has published widely and speaks regularly at international conferences, including events at University of Oxford, New York University, and as an invited speaker to the School of Advanced Studies, University of London. Recent work includes a chapter on the composer/director working relationship in film for "A Critical Companion to Robert Zemeckis (Lexington Books, 2020), a piece on Lynchian storytelling with Rupert Loydell published in "Listen to the Sounds: Music and Sound Design in Twin Peaks" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021). Kingsley co-edited with James Rocha "Philosophical Reflections on Black Mirror", due on Bloomsbury in December 2021, contributing a chapter on the representation of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Also due for publication are a study on the representation of asymmetrical conflict that forms part of the "Handbook on Violence in Film and Media" for Palgrave Macmillan, a chapter on representations of artificial intelligence in the "Bladerunner" franchise for a collection on Denis Villenueve, edited by Jeri English and Marie Pascal for Edinburgh University Press, and a chapter on film music as narrative device for a collection on "Call Me By Your Name", edited by Edward Lamberti and Michael Williams.

Prior to joining Falmouth University, Kingsley served as a critic and has written about popular culture - from film and music through to video games, the internet and literature - for over 30 publications. His writing has featured on the BBC and MTV, in Little White Lies, anthologies on hip hop and soul, and countless sleeve notes and biographies.
