Leonie Naughton’s research about German film and contemporary screen culture has received international acknowledgement. Her work has been published in Australia, Europe and the United States, in English and German. She presented papers at international conferences, often by invitation, and at public seminars and forums for Australian film festivals. Leonie had a long and productive relationship with the Goethe-Institut, for which she curated public screenings of German films that were otherwise unavailable in Australia. She was a referee for Cinema Journal and Metro and served on the editorial board for Screening the Past.
