My name is Noah Berc, and I am an award-winning filmmaker, curator, and researcher from Burlington, Ontario, Canada. I recently graduated with an MA in Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies from Queen’s University. My research examined contemporary body-horror cinema, interrogating the genre as both a valuable site for psychoanalysis and a bridge between critical inquiry and creative practice. Alongside my studies, I curate the film series Beyond the Flesh at Kingston's independent cinema, The Screening Room, where I program and introduce screenings of international body horror cinema. My previous short film, Pimple Patch (2025), has screened at festivals in the UK, Austria, the US, and across Canada. As a Deninu Kųę́ scholar, I also contributed to public history as the commissioned writer of Unmarked Waters, an Indigenous history tour for the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes. As a multidisciplinary enthusiast of cinema, my work aims to underscore the merits of filmmaking as both a form of creative expression and a catalyst for cultural production.
