Film and Media
Noah Berc is a filmmaker, curator, and researcher pursuing an MA in Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies at Queen’s University. His research examines transgressive bodies and the politics of degradation in contemporary North American horror cinema, building on his Joint Honours BA in Film and English from Queen’s. Noah’s work bridges scholarship and practice: he curated the film series Beyond the Flesh, which explored Queer, theological, and abject theory in body horror cinema, and directed the short film Pimple Patch, which has screened at festivals in the UK, Austria, the US, and across Canada. As a Dene (Deninu KųęÌ, Treaty 8) scholar, he has also contributed to public history as the commissioned writer of Unmarked Waters, an Indigenous history tour for the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes. Alongside his academic work, Noah is a professional actor with ACTRA Toronto and a core board member of the Cinema Society of Kingston, where he programs and introduces screenings.
