DrAlan Cholodenko

Dr Cholodenko first began teaching at the Universityof Sydney in 1978, and quickly became a pivotal figure in the development of art and film history and theory at the University, including through the creation of the still thriving discipline of Film Studies.
As a teacher he shaped a generation of minds by elucidating the complexities of French poststructuralist and postmodernist thought, and through his classes on philosophy, art and film. As a scholar, Dr Cholodenko has made a rich contribution to each of these fields, and is especially known for his pioneering work on animation.
