Paul Tarragó

Known for

Directing

Paul Tarragó is a filmmaker, using both video and celluloid, living in London whose work is a mix of underground experimentation and metafiction, tugging at the leash of film language but with narrative often held close at hand. It has shown widely on film festival and gallery circuits (International Film Festival Rotterdam, NYUFF, EMAF, National Review of Live Art, Triangle France, Kino der Kunst) and includes several award winning experimental narratives, video installation, a collaborative feature film, cinematic sketchbooks, moving image + live soundtrack performance work, etc. A formative influence on Tarragó's DIY approach comes from his experiences as a core member and activist with the Exploding Cinema: a collective dedicated to originating alternative methods of exhibition for low-budget/artists' film and video and related performance.
