Fabiola ALVAREZ

Fabiola obtained a BA in Translation and Interpreting studies (English, French, Spanish) in Spain, which would eventually lead to her being involved in the film industry and, subsequently, to her current role as a PhD researcher: after finishing her undergraduate studies she moved to London and started working as an audiovisual translator, subtitler, and editor for a number of audiovisual postproduction companies. This daily contact with the medium increased her interest in film and she decided to spend some time in the United States doing a course on digital filmmaking at the New York Film Academy. Back in the UK, she did an MSc in Film Studies at the University of Edinburgh, while continuing her professional collaboration with several postproduction companies and universities in the UK, including City University London and the University of Edinburgh. Her academic and professional background led to her being selected in 2010 by the University of St Andrews and the Economic and Social Research Council to carry out a research project about the role of the former national screen agency in Scotland, Scottish Screen. The completion of the project, now in its final stages, will lead to the award of a PhD by the University of St Andrews School of Management.
