My name is Lynsey Ford. I’m a librarian, journalist, editor, and researcher based in London.

Based in London, I am an alumna from Birkbeck College, The Open University and The University of Oxford. I’ve written and contributed to over 21 publications and websites including The BFI, Cineaste, charliechaplin.com (the official website of Charlie Chaplin), Variety, The Arts Newspaper, The Museums Journal, Noir City (The Film Noir Foundation,) and The Stage.

My interviews have included one-to-ones with industry figures from The BFI, Photoplay Productions, The Stanley Kubrick Estate, Chaplin Office Paris, Harold Lloyd Enterprises, The Museum of Comedy, The Cartoon Museum, The Bill Douglas Museum, and Leighton House Museum.

I will be starting a Postgraduate course in Curating & Collections Management at Birkbeck College in 2024.
