Luna Hupperetz is a film curator and PhD researcher at the University of Amsterdam, specialising in "critical audiovisual heritage." Her research focuses on activist documentary cinema, practices of audiovisual reuse, and collaborative film archival methodologies. She is particularly interested in how community-led audiovisual digitisation can reframe incomplete militant film histories, and in the ways such residual audiovisual collections may enrich archival theory and praxis.
As a film curator, she has contributed to research on and the re-release of the restored anti-colonial film Oema foe Sranan (1978), and she co-directed the short film A Battle Restored (2022) in connection with this restoration. In addition to her academic work, she serves as a programme advisor for the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA).
