Ross Lipman is an American restorationist, independent filmmaker and essayist. He is best known for his work as Senior Film Restorationist at the UCLA Film & Television Archive, where he has restored numerous independent and avant-garde works. Lipman was the 2008 recipient of Anthology Film Archives' Preservation Honors, and is a three-time winner of the National Society of Film Critics' Heritage Award. Lipman's essays on film history, technology, and aesthetics have been published in Artforum, Sight and Sound, and in numerous academic books and journals and his films have been screened internationally and have been collected by museums and archives. He is currently working with the distribution company Milestone Films on the production of a feature-length documentary entitled ''Notfilm'' about Samuel Beckett's ''Film''. ''Notfilm'' is set for international release in 2015. The documentary was prompted by the discovery of long missing footage from the original production of ''Film'', which Lipman discovered amid reels of outtakes under the kitchen sink of Grove Press publisher and ''Film'' producer, Barney Rossett. ==Publications== Known for his contributions to the theory of film restoration, particularly the ethics involved in restoring independent and experimental film, Ross Lipman has contributed numerous essays on the subject, beginning with “Problems of Independent Film Preservation” in 1996 and consolidated in “The Gray Zone: A Restorationist’s Travel Guide” in 2009. Lipman’s conceptualization of restoration theory has developed from years of practice within the field. His ideas have been controversial in acknowledging a subjectivity inherent in the process of restoration itself, a position once considered taboo from art conservation orthodoxy, but gaining increasing credence in recent years as museum conservators have been confronted with the transient nature of many post-war and contemporary artworks. Lipman is also the author of several historical analytical essays, including a definitive history of John Cassavetes and his collaboration with Charles Mingus on the score for ''Shadows'', as well as an analysis of the ground-breaking production techniques used in Kent Mackenzie's ''The Exiles (1961)''. 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「Ross Lipman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
