Chris Berry je profesorom filmových a televíznych štúdií na Goldsmiths, University of London. Jeho výskum sa zameriava na čínsku kinematografiu a ďalšie čínske obrazové médiá, so zvláštnym záujmom o queer obrazové kultúry vo Východnej Ázii, mediatizovaný verejný priestor vo východoázijských mestách a národné a transnárodné obrazové kultúry v tomto regióne. Berryho práca vyniká hlbokým vhľadom do špecifických kultúrnych a sociálnych dynamík, ktoré formujú obrazové médiá v Ázii.
