Linda C. Ehrlich

Linda C. Ehrlich—essayist, poet, teacher, editor—offers a new window onto world cinema and dance through her varied writings. Trained at the University of Hawaii/East-West Center, she has lived extensively in Japan, and has also enjoyed extended sojourns in Spain, Italy, India, and Israel. Her commentary appears on two Criterion DVDs and one Milestone Film and Video DVD. She has taught on the Semester-at-Sea program and at several universities and colleges.

She has received grants from the Japan Foundation, the Spanish Ministry of Culture, the Bogliasco Foundation, the Asian Cultural Council, and the Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities, among others. As a Fulbright Specialist, she taught at the University of Granada (Spain).

In her writings, a lyrical approach, grounded in scholarship, offers unexpected interpretations and connections.
