avalard

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2019

I'm a freelance film historian, writer, broadcaster and visual artist from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Fond of the strange, unusual and obsolete.

Seldom found without a camera and a notebook.

I'm co-director of CinePunked, an organisation that uses film to educate and stimulate conversation through events and podcasts.
