Steffi Tell

Steffi is a curator, researcher, and film festival organizer, where she dabbles in print publications, community engagement, and programming administration. She is currently part of the New Orleans Film Festival and Atlanta Film Festival programming teams, with a focus in narrative cinema. Steffi is slowly completing a PhD thesis through the University of Melbourne, Australia, which deals with cultures of horror and masquerade on film. Her research interests broadly span liminal and ritual studies, genre cinema, and the possibilities of the cinematic carnivalesque. She hopes she was an iguana in a past life, but is pretty sure she was a fly.
