Her early books on the aesthetics of film were first published in her native Hungary, which became handbooks for film-schools in the country.

In 1982 she was hired as a professor then became Full Professor on the faculty of the Tisch School of the Arts (Film and TV Graduate Division) at NYU where she worked until her retirement in 2007.
She has written books on film which have been translated into several languages.
