Kaitlin Lake is a Ph.D. candidate in the Art History Department at The University of Sydney, Australia, where she also teaches undergraduate students in the unit “Introduction to Film Studies.” She is currently writing a thesis titled “Cinematic Aposiopesis: The Affect of Indeterminacy and Unresolved Endings in Films About Missing Persons,” which calls on the rhetorical device of the aposiopesis, as well as existentialism and phenomenology, to interrogate a selection of films that reject the natural compulsion to resolve. Kaitlin completed her undergraduate studies in Film and English at the University of Sydney, graduating with First Class Honours. Kaitlin is interested in the intersection of cinema and literature, narrative theory, and creating a dialogue between film studies and philosophy to illuminate each discipline further.
