Areas of Expertise

Karl Neubert is an award-winning filmmaker whose expertise includes all aspects and genres of film and TV production, as well as film theory, the history of U.S. and Japanese cinema, event organization, subtitling and Japanese culture.

Teaching Interests

Neubert has taught entry, intermediate and advanced level film production courses, as well as special topic-based classes on subjects such as U.S. cinema, alternative cinema, music video and the portrayal of cis and transgender women in the media. He is also the director of Temple University Japan's Student Film Festival.

Research

Having obtained three decades of field experience in film production on top of his formal education in cinema and media arts, Neubert’s strength is the ability to compare and analyze film from a holistic perspective. His current creative activities and research are focused on international co-production, the aesthetical merits of adapting vintage lenses to digital cameras and capturing the ‘transience of things’ (mono no aware) reflected in the beauty of gradually decaying houses and objects with his camera.
