The Catnemi team gives a warm welcome to Ludo de Roo as their new Postdoctoral Researcher during the final phase of the project.
Ludo de Roo studied media studies at the University of Amsterdam and obtained a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Macquarie University (Sydney, Australia). In Sydney, he has taught widely in both philosophy and media theory. His publications combine phenomenological philosophy and ecocinema theory, with research on film-philosophical topics such as elemental mediation, the structure of immersion, and cinematic imagination. He also has a monograph in progress on the notion of the ‘elemental image’ capturing how cinematic images of the elements spark a specific type of imagination that plunges the spectator within cinematic worlds. In May 2026, Ludo has joined CATNEMI as a Postdoctoral Researcher with a focus on investigating how other media forms adopt the operations of cinematic atmosphere.
CATNEMI is looking forward to have Ludo’s expertise on this in the team.
