Palita Chunsaengchan

I’m a film and media scholar from Bangkok, currently based in Minneapolis.

I teach Southeast Asian cinema and media cultures at the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Minnesota. I’m currently working on my book manuscript, Chimeric Cinema: The Formation of Thai Film Culture (expected in 2026). I’m also developing a screenplay for my first short film, which is based on my second book project on professional migration for cinema and media-related jobs in Southeast Asia.
