| Alice Tremea |
| Alice was born and raised in Brazil, where she had her first job being a video store clerk as a teen. This allowed her to consume countless hours of classics, B-movies, and underrated gems on VHS and DVD, cementing her love for physical media and inspiring her to write about movies. She is a horror enthusiast and studies the genre’s ability to represent contemporary fears, as well as cultural and national identities. She has written chapters and presentations about Latin American representation, as well as on themes of colonisation, gentrification, ethnic and racial representations in the genre. Alice’s PhD study areas are Irish, Film, and Latin American studies. Her research project is a comparative study between 21st-century Irish and Latin American horror film productions. The study aims to analyse whether the cultures, although geographically and ethnically distinct, present similarities due to a shared history of colonisation and the influence of the Catholic Church. The research touches on themes of folklore, heritage, national identities, and women’s representation within these cinema industries. |
