Dr Kingsley Marshall
Head of Film & Television
Dr Kingsley Marshall is Head of Film & Television at the CILECT and Screenskills accredited School of Film & Television, based within Falmouth University, UK. The 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 currently 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 "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, which won the HP Lovecraft Award at Flickers' Vortex Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror Film Festival in 2019. Working again with Neil and Myskatonic Films, he is currently developing Ryan's next project "The Birdwatcher". As composer Kingsley worked with director Mark Jenkin ("Bait", 2019), writing the score for "Hard, Cracked the Wind" (2019). He is working on a contribution to the score to Mark's next feature, "Enys Men" (Bosena Films/Film4), shooting 2021.
Kingsley's academic research focuses on sound and music in film and television, cultures of film and television production, and the representation of real events - specifically asymmetrical conflict, the US presidency, and the ethics of artificial intelligence development as part of the 'fourth industrial revolution'. He has published widely and speaks regularly at international conferences, including events at University of Oxford, New York University, the University of Pavia and as an invited speaker at the School of Advanced Studies, University of London.
In 2021, Kingsley co-edited with James Rocha Philosophical Reflections on Black Mirror for Bloomsbury, contributing a chapter on the representation of artificial intelligence and machine learning development. 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, both due for publication in 2021.
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.
