Filmmaker Statement
My approach to making films is an attempt to bring to light subconscious concerns that reveal themselves while filming in an improvised stream of consciousness manner. Aspects of memory, dreams and the everyday are juxtaposed with densely layered, in-camera edited images, in a style that encourages unplanned-for results. Utilizing an intuitive process, where improvisation and mistakes are essential to my filmmaking methodology, I’m less concerned with a preconceived result and more with exploring the moment. The films are screened at performances with musicians, providing an exciting environment in which visual and musical interactions can be studied for future work.
Paul Clipson has shown his films internationally in various galleries, festivals and performance venues in Europe, Japan, and Russia, as well as throughout the U.S. He has screened work at the Rotterdam Film Festival, the Cinematheque Francaise and the New York Film Festival. He works primarily in film, video and on paper, often collaborating on films, live performances and installations with sound artists and musicians.
