Summary
Michael Witt is a film historian and Professor of Cinema at the University of Roehampton with over two decades of academic experience centered on French cinema, film technology, documentary, and the work of Jean-Luc Godard. His award-winning monograph Jean-Luc Godard, Cinema Historian and numerous edited volumes have been translated widely and shaped contemporary scholarship and public programming, including major seasons for Tate Modern and BFI Southbank. A Leverhulme Trust Research Fellow in 2022–23, he is completing a Bloomsbury monograph on Godard’s unmade and abandoned projects, drawing on unique archival interviews—most notably a three-hour studio conversation with Godard in 2005 that formed the basis of a 2024 French publication. Based in London, he blends rigorous archival research with curatorial practice, often bringing esoteric corners of film history into broader cultural view.
