ሃና ተስፋዬ

Hanna edits Cinema Plus and writes in Amharic and English. She spent a decade teaching media literacy in after-school programs before turning to criticism. She cares about whether a recap respects the viewer’s time, whether the Amharic narration adds judgment or only speed, and whether a school-violence story is being used as spectacle. She assigns every public video essay on this site and rejects listings that only paste a plot.

ሃና የሲኒማ ፕላስ ዋና አዘጋጅ ናት። በአማርኛና በእንግሊዘኛ ትጽፋለች። ከትችት በፊት ለአሥር ዓመታት የሚዲያ ግንዛቤ ታስተምር ነበር። የቪዲዮ መግለጫ ከሴራ ማጠቃለያ በላይ ትርጉም፣ ትምህርት እና የታዳሚ ክበብ እንዲኖረው ትፈልጋለች።

Beat: Bilingual criticism, recap ethics, and what a title actually promises. Video essays are assigned by hash of the catalog id so the byline is stable; stand-alone pieces below are commissioned to this editor.
