Paul Winkler (born 22 June 1939) is a German-born Australian filmmaker who lives and works in Sydney. He was associated with Corinne and Arthur Cantrill, Albie Thoms and David Perry in pioneering local experimental film production in the 1960s. ==Career== Born in Hamburg, Germany Winkler underwent a bricklaying apprenticeship before migrating to Australia in 1959. His self-education in film and film history began in 1962, when he produced his first films in 8mm on Bell & Howell and Canon cameras. In 1967, he switched to 16mm and a Bolex camera which he has used ever since. Winkler characterises his films as "a synthesis of intellect and emotion, filtered through the plastic material of film". "I try to let 'imagines' flow freely to the surface".〔(Paul Winkler: Australian Icons ) at Red Avocado Film (Germany)〕 The ideas which he terms ‘imagines’ may reflect Australian icons like Bondi Beach, Ayers Rock/Uluru and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, or textures, as in ''Bark/Rind'', ''Green Canopy'', and the bush. In 1973, Winkler's film ''Dark'' identified with the Aboriginal land rights movement, acquiring a spirituality which was also manifested in ''Chants'' and ''Red Church''. Later films take contemporary society for their subject, as in ''Rotation'', ''Time out for Sport'' and ''Long Shadows''. His early apprenticeship is recalled in ''Brickwall'', ''Backyard'' and ''Brick and Tile''. In 1995, the Museum of Contemporary Art and Sydney Intermedia Network mounted a retrospective screening of 30 of his films. The following year, the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard University, USA screened 30 films in a three-day retrospective. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Winkler (director)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
