Paul Bush - Senior Tutor

Paul Bush was born in London in 1956. He studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths College and began filmmaking in 1978 as a member of the London Film-makers Co-Op. From 1981 to 1993 he taught film-making, establishing a 16mm film workshop in South London and supervising a wide variety of courses and the production of numerous student films. Between 1995 and 2001 he taught on the visual arts course at Goldsmiths and has lectured at the Media Academy Cologne, St Lukas Brussels, Hogeschool Ghent, HGK Luzern, CalArts, the RCA, the National Film and Television School and Duncan of Jordanstone.

His background in Fine Arts remains an influence on his work which crosses the boundaries between fiction, documentary and animation. His films have been shown in festivals, exhibitions and on television all over the world. Forgetting (1990) won the gold plaque for short drama at Chicago Film Festival. His Comedy (1994) has been awarded prizes at Melbourne, Bombay and Cinanima Festivals, The Rumour of True Things (1996) won at the Bonn Videonale, The Albatross (1998) at Zagreb, Hiroshima, Cinanima and Bombay and Furniture Poetry (1999) at Transmediale, Berlin. Most of his films have been commissioned for broadcast but he has also made films for arts organisations and the commercial sector where his clients include Panasonic and Philips. He recently won the Japanese ACC award for best animation in a commercial.
