Research: 

Matthew Gandy is a cultural, urban, and environmental geographer and an award-winning documentary filmmaker.  His research interests span landscape, infrastructure, biodiversity, epidemiology, and multisensory methodologies.  In his first film Liquid city (2007) he explores cultural and political dimensions to water and urban infrastructure in Mumbai, with a particular emphasis on the use of interviews interspersed with everyday life and urban landscapes. His most recent film Natura Urbana: the Brachen of Berlin  (2017) also uses interviews but draws on extensive archival material to explore the post-war history of Berlin through a botanical lens.
